a busy day
followed by
a quiet day
snow on the roof
and seawall

a busy day
followed by
a quiet day
snow on the roof

garden perennials
grow and rest
return again




older now
used books settle
in their new home

summer to fall
willow branches
in sun and shadow

older vision
grateful for my chair
by a sunny window

good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different


tree with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith
