i do a lot of work in my kitchen
and dining room at my old farmhouse
like they are my studio,
which, i suppose, they are.
i finally pulled the summer book together
after conferring with a good friend about where to go with it
after conferring with a good friend about where to go with it
wrote in all of the poems and words
quotes and added in feathers
sewed in some things...
some of the fold-outs are quite long
with surprise prints
i stayed up very late one night
and wrote a LOT in cursive no less
these pages are quite large,
13 by 17, perhaps?
and there was a lovely walk yesterday
late afternoon sun
at the new place:
coltsfoot
sugar maple
shimmering staghorn sumac
cattail cat tails
tricks played by ferns and trees
the new road being built
the old wall
wild clematis seeds
goldenrod still coming!
coming home the back way
soil for the garden waits.
