A New Day

New day beginning
Sunrise brings hope and resolve
that all will be well

Magnolia

Magnolia blooms
glorious white and pale pink
brightens my Monday

Pink and Yellow

Gray and brown landscapes
create space for tiny bursts
of brilliant color

Foggy Morning

Early morning fog
Obscures the neighbors houses
Past the wooded park

Gray Day

Rain, comforting sounds
Water soaking the windshield
Blurring the gray view

Julia at the Beach

Squinting from the sun
She plays with brittle seaweed
Sand between her toes

Many Skeins

White handspun wool yarn
Shredded by a playful cat
Becomes many skeins

Yellow Butterflies

Yellow butterflies
Reflected in the stillness
of a backyard pond

Morning Knitting

Assam tea steaming
Stitches of wool, two-row stripes
Spring morning waking

Knitting Needles

My Mom's old needles
Color worn off at the tips
Spring shades of pastel

Rainy Day

Sunshine at sunrise
Dark clouds from the west
We wait for the rain

Worn Down

I am tired today
Worn down by my neighbors' fears
Spring flowers blossom
