Couchwood porch--facing east
on the same day
finishing one journal
beginning another
The new journal, a Mother's Day gift from daughter Annamarie, measures 9 x 7 inches. It will hold a lot of stuff.
June 5
summer's heat
finally kicks in
I change
my morning seat
from swing to molded chair
so I can see the hydrangeas,
lilies.
A short wooden stepladder (flea market find) serves as a coffee mug holder, and a metal card-table chair (a second-hand purchase) serves--with pillows added--as a table for the journal.
Beyond
the emerging
hydrangeas' blue, purple
and pink blooms are coreopsis,
lilies.
Easter
lilies--long past
this year's early Easter--
finally bloom, showing their bright
faces.
after blooming,
old wisteria sends runners
into the air.
into the air.
Facing
the north, I can
watch trees--pecan, walnut,
maple, locust, holly--move in
the breeze.
