pale pink globe

towers over all the rest

garlic flower

frogs peeping

from full ditches

floor dry this time

towhees all around

one attacks this car with beak

and white missiles

after rain

my wheelchair & I

enter the garden

wool scarf and hat

spinal cord injury means

I'm cold below 80F

flutterbys

do their thing in the garden

watching the clock

chariot-borne sun

thunders its arc overhead

new shoots praise her

weather boils

across Mississippi

wheel Grandma in

longer days

are still too short

Red Queen was right

 morning gone

and no words written

sunbeams on my chair

Daffodils done, now flowers of blueberries, Lady Banks roses, Kyria, violets, red bud, azaleas, white clover, red clover, dew berry, wisteria, snowdrops, pansies (still), wild onions. Yes, I'm gloating.

another cold

winter day at 22

C, that is

mourning dove

calling from the bobbing wire

like he's been here all winter

daffodils in bloom

was January

throat sac inflates

so in love

birdwatchers prefer
the bright red cardinals
they like olive green

042220e

protecting roses
from the storm
the full vase

041520c

neighbors' tree
down in our yard
missed our tree
gray grancey's beard
just finished blooming

041420

fallen tree
lies bright green across the yard
doesn't know it's dead

Temp's dropping:
The jade plant curses us
From the front porch,
Ice crystals piercing
Its veins,
The cat briar fumbles at the latch
With stiffening tendrils,
And its last life,
The sweet olive tree,
Clothed in wintry flowers,
Grins and stretches out its arms,
Inside, I turn another page,
My cooling tea.
