Immigrants on the med


In search of home;
In loving friendships.
Family, garden, 
Sun and water.

Guidance, justice 
Peace and order.
Nourishing seasons.
A good kitchen with stove to cook on.

No pushing,
Order, kindness.
Birds and animals
 plans for the future 

Books to learn and enjoy.
Games for skill and confidence.
A moon at night.
Legends and hope for tomorrow

Watch back

 

the little bunny sat a while

 not moving just looking.

i  had toast, grape jelly and a coffee

and kept an eye out; nothing happened.


at this moment all looks good.

perhaps there was a splash of rain last night.

plants are healthy.

cloudy but I think warm enough.


this is the kind of today we need .

how a summer day should be.

feeling okay how it all comes about.

practically a heart warming comedy.

Off early

 

Avoiding the crowd is the scheme

Trader Joe’s is on our beam.

Best plans for our team. up early, dressed to go.

Started counting bunnies, our movement became slow.


Five or so, front and back.

Moving to new places

Figuring who is who.

Hard to tell bunnies apart.


Happy to have them hopping here

Makes home seem calm and friendly.

A plethora of Baby  chipmunks and fewer dogs.

It’s user friendly.

To see classmates

 

Hello friends, how have you been?

I’m pleased to have you as my former classmates.

Everyone recalls another fracture.

Good to have the memories.


For all time we’ll be

Set into the class of 63.

Count us up, how many are we?

And dance to the music.

Up before seven

 

That means it was six something 

when I leaned forward in the bed

Because Meri was standing there and said

Lean forward and you can see the little one


Right there. And I did and did.

Then looking out the front with coffee and toast 

I see another bunny by Rod’s bush

and it scampered around it.


Toast and cinnamon with coffee 

Good Tuesday to the world.

a warm day with a few sprinkles.

good smelling without wrinkles

She sprinkled cinnamon on toast


My toast.

avocado was on it. 

She explicitly said cinnamon used with something 

i forget, but she means it.


This is a breakfast standard that will apply.

Had my coffee and toast; finished that.

Going to be warm again.

How summer is best.


Reading Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove.

It has been at least ten years since I read it.

The book is a pleasure a second time.

It’s filled with space.

Streak of sun

 Bright yellow it shines

Good morning to you

See bushes thick

Stiff in no breeze 


Lacking a glint  of greeting 

a tiny squirrel hopped by

through a bush quietly

near the spot of sun


Splashes of light 

showing so brightly 

getting ready now

for a sunny warm afternoon coming today.
