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

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.

Better Late Than Never
I wonder how long
that tree has provided shade
and shelter for creatures
both large and small?
Today we offer our thanks.

All The Buzz
Black Eyed Susan’s wink
at bees who won’t stop buzzing
about delicious nectar.

The Search
He was so busy
looking for answers that he
forgot to question.

Laying The Groundwork
The mist slowly lifts
as the sun slowly rises.
Another day has begun.
