Simply Spring


The garden's in chaos,
things are quite bad
and Spring slumbers on
snoring like mad.

A snail hurries over
and gives Spring a shake,
planning, if needed
to bribe him with cake.

"Wake up, wake up
you have to see reason -
Winter is leaving
and we don't have a season!"

Spring jumps and mutters:
"Sorry! Sorry my dear,
nobody told me
I'm on early this year."

Small Things Make a Life


A seed to sow
A place to go
A walk to take
Something to make,
A life.


A seed to sow - 
Working on my autumn veggie garden.
A place to go - 
Planning for happier days.
A walk to take -
A favorite again now that the weather is cooler.
Something to make -
Made these napkin holders for the table 
from recycled paper rolls.
Life. So precious.

Best Time of the Year



 Autumn was thinking
he might launch a protest -
there are four seasons out there
and his is the shortest.

I told him: "why worry,
when it is perfectly clear -
you are always our favorite
time of the year."

A Nice Day Out


Summer was not working,
he was sitting in the shade
and mumbling to himself:
"I quit, don't need to get paid.

I thought I got the good season,
the one with games and fun,
nobody thought to mention
I'd be getting sun and more sun.

Having a sunny disposition
is harder than I thought
when I'm always getting burnt
and I'm always always hot!"


Featured: We had a nice day out
in the hot sun and were
very happy about it.

A Nice Day Out


Said spring to winter:
"cheer up, you gloomy fellow,"
Answered winter to spring:
"you're a sunny cup of jello."


Featured: One final day out
before going into isolation.
Wishing you all great health
and all good things.

France Revisited



Yellow said to Brown:
inside you are a clown.
Brown said to yellow:
You're a cheery kind of fellow.

a few more photos of my
trip to the French Alps.
