keeping order

flooded yesterday, okay today.

in stone morning quiet the puddles are gone,

not saying dry,  i doubt that;

squirrels are out hopping, sun has just started.

distant clouds touched by rose.

light sky blue.  minutes later a mist of grey absorbs the blue.

all day you bet rain

so they say and Meri said 

pouring thick without pause.

who do you believe and where’s is it now?

give me a break and wipe my paws.

cloudy upon all and get nothing wet.

Geese, it’s pouring down, you bet.

Working it out

 We patch things together.

Take the pieces we have

Move them to places they belong.

Find good fortune for all.

can I stall on the wall have a ball?

the tale is tall.

that all? don’t fall. 

last call.

Scraping

Get set now. It is off to the dentist for cleaning. Get ready.

Meridith drives us there and back. No kidding, 

Lisa does it well. The cleaning.

Tabby is the office and administrator and secretary and receptionist and organizer and bookkeeper and operator and controller and supervisor.  And she answers the phone.

Dr Tajour is the dentist. Good fellow.

I am the ever enduring patient. Meridith also.

heavy sun and cold

bright this morning.

starting in a whirl.

right, light blue sky

floating overhead.

a large red cardinal in the bush

jumping to the ground.

day starting you see.

born free.

rained last night

 heard it splatter during the wee hours.

 a pleasant wakening for me.

this morning all the puddles are gone. 

there is no green, the lawn is yellow.

winter looks over yet spring has not begun.

it is a tight tween space.

green will be here.

i see rain has splattered the windows.

good wishes came from Rosemary, Bill and Terry.

split creek

over the water run, a half mile back,

few birds fly while keeping alert for predators.

in the large oak tree all is calm on every branch.

what the birds make of the day

searching for food

guarding their area.

working out where to build a nest.

seems to be the spot. same as last year.

when spring begins they’ll be ready.
