Poems & Other Lies
Good Morning
5/28/25 6:00 56f (11.6c) Clear, blue sky, no wind. Somewhere up Swyers Drive an orchard sprayer whines; distant enough I can't smell the poison, near enough to disturb the tranquility of the morning. I can't really complain about the noise. Walter Dawg has been...
Good Morning
5/27/25 5:30 46f (7.7c) Blue sky and birds singing. No wind. It's Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day. People are getting ready for work, the school bus will be by soon. I sit here submerged in hot water, sipping tea, listening to the birds sing. How do I like...

Good Morning
5/22/25 6:00 51f (10.5c) Raining. The drops tapping on the leaves provide percussion for the morning birdsong. It was raining when I went to bed. I do believe it rained all night. Perhaps I can find some mushrooms.
Good Morning
Good morning. 5/21/25 5:45 43f (6c) Calm and clear. Last night's rain left the patches of bare earth damp and the deck still speckled with wet, but the sky overhead is a brilliant blue. The waning crescent moon floats behind the...
Good Morning
Good morning. 5/20/25 6:00 47f (8.3c) Scattered clouds and blue sky. It rained some last night and is still sprinkling very lightly now. In an effort to improve my social media experience, I am posting less on Facebook and using this blog instead. Still trying to...
