Snapshots of late May (early summer)

 



morning brings promises of peonies- 

sky mirrors an invitation-


tarry with the chores

and fold away the to-do-lists


i pause at half-planting the store-

bought vegetables in container pots-


i listen to birdsongs

& marvel the bees in the garden


the forget-me-nots dally

with blue iris & blossoming rose buds- 


the summer air is delicious

as freshly baked sourdough bread-


in a minute, wind blows white seed-

heads of a dying 


dandelion, puffy wispy clouds

beyond my grasp-
