I won't soon forget
this view from our window,
even as some Springtime rains
came through recently
and turned these fleeting blossoms
to pink snow
on the ground.

Spring trees!

The coolest blue,
and the brightest green-gold--
we took a weekend trip away
to the place where we were married,
back to visit
for the first time
since our wedding.

Folkloric,
in many ways,
has simply become,
my own little journal of the seasons--
and I am alright with that.

These are photos from my yard and garden,
and when I look at them
I feel honored to have this bit of earth to tend.

Dark
& light.

The difference
that a week or two makes!
