a friend

has a list that you relate to

visits your space to check out birds

at times create in soft grey tones

is swept away on a breeze

homecoming

a glance up with a smile each time I pull into the garage

passing under the colorful climbing vine

that has made a springtime home





encouraging me to keep climbing

holding on to the cracking wood and textured bricks that make up life

.


bright


fresh


weathered


tangled


all in the same day ...

in the curve of a bird . doily wings . the pure Easter lily I celebrate

panorama and patterns . unique reflections . week ending twirl

a heartfelt wish to you ... and the ones you love

picked up...

walking in stride with a friend

a fast pace is good for your heart

a slow, gentle one is good for your soul

15

hopeful that your day is filled with purpose

stitched bunnies travel far away

sliver of time before a storm

being painted by a friend

happy weekend

to you

i am reminded...

of what a comfort a kitchen window can provide

from both the outside looking in and indoors gazing out

as well as what black and white always feels like







I enjoyed my day HERE with a guest post

a few more from the kitchen window

curves of metal and stone

we drive past . me clicking way . each shot a blur . I smile at the metaphor




when life becomes a blurry roller coaster ride with twists and turns
it is reassuring to have a place to be still .. to slow down ..
small stones . paper . words from table to shop

14

notebook paper in the curve of a bird . a heart . wisp of cloth

with my handwritten wish for many blessings

in a charcoal sketch . happy balloons .

found fiber and flowers

.
.

simple bird . simple word

it is one oclock

at a smooth wooden table as I ponder

the list filled with "should accomplish" and "must do"

while fresh blooms with leaves of purple wave outside the window

suddenly watering . sunshine . camera . move to the top of the must do list





this is called "Plum Delight" . blooms 3 times a year in my wild garden

words like trees

there are moments . words line up side by side . open . reaching together
often they drift quietly off to the side . gnarled in many directions
with almost three years in this space my words embrace both
swirling among the branches of life's season

13

a verb . sweeping gestures . to grow well . influence

a quince branch :: fabric filled table :: favorite wandering


with a flourish two names were drawn today

for last weeks simple stone :: jamie @ lyrical journey

a black and red simple bird :: leslie @ let a joy keep you

happy weekend to all of the very special friend that stop here
