In order to beat
the traffic we left at six,
but apparently
so did everyone else.
Next time we’ll leave at noon.

Time Out
Every night the trees
frantically sway in the wind
as lightening flashes
and water pours from the sky.
We’d welcome a change of scene.

All Decked Out
Whatever the weather,
those pink inpatiens
insist on bringing
a joyful abundance
of boisterous blooms.

Blah, Blah, Blah
The clouds aren’t smiling
this morning, but also they
are not shedding tears.
It looks like it’s going to
be a real blah kind of day.

The Pause That Refreshes
After I goofed up
several times in a row, I took
myself aside for
some words of encouragement
and some much needed rest.

Look Out
Minutes pass before
Knox notices the squirrel.
Then the chase begins
as the indoor cats critique
his every move and technique.

So There!
When told to cool off,
the weather took offense
and left a heated reply.

Sweet Memories
After a few days
of delicious coolness.
we’re left to fan ourselves
with memories as we
flee the returning heat.

Best Option
Small, baby rabbit,
you made a good choice when you
decided not to cross
the road. I can assure you,
things aren’t better over there.

Splendid Sunday
The sun’s not blazing
and even without a breeze,
the day’s off to a good start.
Knox and I plan a nice, long walk
followed by a lazy afternoon
and, perhaps, even a nap.
