  2. Lovely postcard. I can almost make out that robin!

  3. These are lovely.

  4. Beautiful. (I can understand the nervousness of a for sale sign. Sigh.)

  5. Thanks, all. I can’t take credit. Well … for the words, but even there TR is my best, first editor.

    Helen, you can see the gravel bed of the railroad running to the right there under the moon.

    Dave, I blush to say I think that’s actually an ash tree. The locust and the robin were in our yard.

    And Deb, I think of something Bill McKibbon said in Wandering Home about people building big houses in scenic places and ruining his view.

  6. i really like this one :)

  7. Thanks, Jessie.

What I'm Doing...

  • In the dark of the moon, a deep black sky, the dipper tips a libation over our roofbeam. 7 hrs ago
  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 1 day ago
  • Drizzle is a miserable word. The heavens lower, my mood is dour. A little spring and I would sing. The sun would turn me carefree as a bird. 3 days ago
  • I open the back door and the wren flies at shin level. Is she nesting on the porch? Our cats are old but not that old. 5 days ago
