Today clouds showered us with

gifts of white. No telling what

they’ll bring us tomorrow.

JDG

Welcoming sunlight

after cold, rainy days.

Gratitude abounds.

JDG

The birds came flying

to the feeder this cold day.

They’ll eat and then be on their way.

JDG

No messing about,

just a quick in and out

on this rainy day.

JDG

As the days grow shorter and colder,

our walks grow shorter too,

causing Knox,

much to the cat’s dismay,

to sniff out other forms of play.

JDG

Mornings Knox and I walk

to the beat of a wordless song.

Often we’re accompanied by the sun

as the moon nods off after

a glorious night of stardom.

JDG

Cardinal and Blue jay

side by side on the porch rail.

Neither are making speeches.

Knox gazes upward,

intently watching circling hawks

as they, equally intent,

seem to be watching him.

JDG

As the birds gather

in nearby trees waiting for me

to put out their seed,

I thank them for their frequent visits

as feeding them also feeds me.

JDG

I assume that tree

wanted to be seen so it

took matters to an extreme

and lay down across our driveway.
