When you are hit with the blues for some reason
Inexplicably
While normally you may be sunshine and light
Bizarrely
You feel as azure as a Sri Lankan sapphire
Where do you go
Curiously
When the doldrums
Unquestionably
Come in like high tide
Do you for comfort hide
Temporarily
In the arms of dear authors
Sensibly
For the stable sage wisdom of their words
Perhaps for peace you cling
Desperately

She discards her bridal white
And flush of baby pinks
She robes her self in a deep matronly green
Her young are slowly growing up
And change is in the air
She is more hotly serious for all the time she’s seen
Her blue skies are deeper turquoise
With cotton clouds piled up high
When she feels their fullness
Her grey shadows [...]

The pine and oak were calling me home
The dogwoods and daffodils blooming for spring
I had to go back to where I belong
I need to spend some time healing
So I drove all day to be with you
I’d do it all over again
To be where you are for a moment
I just needed my best [...]

Hurried poetic tongue in cheek musings from April’s perspective… These are a bit of a rush job in passing as we go to a park for Spring Break.

A weenie dog is walking art
I dig his groovy symmetry
He is as tall as wide and deep
He waddles like a [...]

I was oblivious to anything other than Spring all around me. I was so captivated by purple clover tops, greens in every hue, dandelions yellow and white, red breasts, and red tufted head, grey tipped wings, black shiny eyes and beaks, and white glistening wet backs, the smell of dew dropped grasses and leaves, [...]

I was writing to a friend this morning after my walk. Spring, new life is all over my places for romps and wanderings.
Two squirrels just nearly assaulted each other on the hood of my car in front of the library! (Whoa thought I, TMI, nutty buddies! Let’s keep it G-rated!)
It’s skunk mating season apparently. The [...]

When we awoke this morning for a moment Texas felt like Narnia as spring began. There was a powder sugar dust of snow on the spring green grass and distant tree. The children were giddy and excited. There was a brief but jolly snow marble toss (there wasn’t enough snow or time for snowballs so [...]

How the heck did I end up here? Greg’s shoulders drooped, tightly stretching his red “Senior 2008″ t-shirt. Slouching against the window outside of the Nature Exchange, he looked still larger [...]

I have had the question posed to me often, “So, what are you passionate about? Truly passionate.” Here’s my answer in a photo essay, um if it embeds …..
I love the Lord, I love my family, I love people.Luke 10:27
He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all [...]
