Ordinary

Some days are ordinary like a pocket, like a house key, like an acorn on the sidewalk. Beauty hides in the space where our eyes slide by the sky. It's tucked under the corners of plain sight. Today was an ordinary day.

Sweetness

Today -

A walk in the woods that ended with two scoops of ice cream: salted caramel and dark chocolate almond.

Sunset

Autumn crept in yesterday; wool socks and mittens at the Farmer's Market couldn't keep me warm. The garden didn't notice. The tomato plants are still throwing out summer's light.

The Beginning

Sometimes a beginning is also a return.

Smith Lake, New Mexico, July 2011.

The beginning, again.
