cut and laid out
ready to sew

daughter texts
son tweets

electrical meltdown
wires fused
major woes
lots of new plants
brighten the day

morning yoga
on my porch
slug joins in


gargantuan strawberry
slugs and I
enjoy


scared dog
joins me in
my shower


azure skies touch
tender well-worn memories
spoken over a day
when much happened
the lost revealed


wonderful day
feeling better
makes all the difference
writing haiku
catching up

slug trails
meandering across
window screen


more cabinets installed
more sprinklers functional
for me
it has been
day of reading

baby robin
on fir branch
gentle breeze


cleaning
kitchen pantry
cricket chirps


robins chasing
through fir branches
windmill turns


sunday afternoon
reading napping
in my recliner


waterlillies
open dawn to dusk
two naps
lots of reading
delightfully dull day
