picking up poop
pine sap
on my toe

finishing
one puzzle
starting another
looking out at
the lovely day

two fawns
grazing in the field
cherry blossoms

getting a hair cut
and color
fruit trees
beginning to blossom
across the island

crisscrossing overhead vapor trails

waking
to no heat
a new thermostat
installed
before tutoring

an odd number
of letters
outlier

restless nights
followed by
long days
frosted cyclamen
along the walkway

a baby squirrel
on the deck
sunrise

a full day
of tutoring
one student
after another
ice on the birdbath

hidden
in the clouds
the sound of an airplane

piece by piece
working on a
new puzzle
having lunch
with a friend

making the bed
around the cats
a lazy Sunday

beginning
a new puzzle
a friend stops by
to watch a show
a quiet day
