the full moon

behind fir trees

a frog croaks

therapy and errands

planning next sewing project

reading and napping

chickadees darting

through the yard

chickadees

in the birdbath

a rainbow pinwheel spins

after tutoring

quilting

sewing four backs

and pinning 

four quilts

April 4, 2012

same time same place

the crow overhead

again with twigs in her beak

watching the birds

nest building

helping students

comforting pets

sunny day

April 3, 2012

tulip buds

ready to blossom

a frog croaks

a crow overhead

with twigs in her beak

hot tub soak

a trying day

finding solace

in quilting

two more tops pieced

sun comes out

April 2, 2012

spring rains

skipped today

a butterfly in the garden

sunny spring day

one quilt top finished

another half done

lunch and games

with a friend

April 1, 2012

sun teases

before vanishing

April Fool’s Day

sun comes out

for dawn and dusk

rain in between

quilting, reading,

writing, and napping

Wordle 50: Sir Thackeray

Here is my contribution to The Sunday Whirl’s Wordle 50 challenge.  Today’s words are: pet, string, wish, point, trick, shine, paw, smell, pack, shape, taste, and whisper

Sir Thackeray

Sir Thackeray knows he rules the pack

and pointing his paw at random shapes

he conjures up trick after trick,

before he plays with the string

left discarded on the floor

or tastes his food when no one looks,

wishing for another flavor to smell and savor.

He grooms himself until his fur shines,

and then whispers in the dog’s ear

making the dog leap and run.

Thackeray is no pet, but a free spirit

whom I am lucky to have for a friend.
