this summer

this summer holds many adventures waiting:

graduation
next week I leave this school behind

the begining of an end

ice cream and treats with friends
playing with the neighborhood dogs

I will be
once again on the road

traveling across this country

driving, campfires:
s'mores and songs
long sunny days

hiking in the desert:
long, hot days

  • winter coming

    winter's coming on fast — 
    better chop enough wood. 

    pluck the last fruits of the harvest — 
    then say goodnight to the garden, 
    resting under a blanket of leaves and love. 

  • Goodbye Whisper

    In the vet's office.
    My bunny, sedated.
    They are coming soon with the second shot.

    She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
    I'm going to miss her so much.
    I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.

  • in the "olden times"

    Do you think people 100 years ago, in rural Vermont, looked up at the sky, at the milky way, the moon and all the stars? Do you think they marveled at them, and taught their children the constellations?
