MAGNIFYING GLASS


SMALL GRAINS
IN A STONE
GROW EDGES
THAT TWINKLE

THE SMOOTH
MOTH'S WING
SPROUTS FEATHERS
LIKE SHINGLES;

MY THUMB
IS WRAPPED
IN RICH
SATIN WRINKLES

yep, I might just have to go there
...just look at that girl pose...
she's a natural
and her brother...a goofiss
The blondie is a friend visiting from Chicago

Laguna beach and a bathing suit
oh heavens
I haven't worn a bathing suit in 5 years
..but that's the great thing about grandkids
they expect you to look old
...they love you
the way you are
bless them

I love to count my blessings
not look at what I don't have
..makes life a joy
and I love joy

yes, I need to go to the warm climate of California
...sooner than later
I need some little arms welcoming me
and telling me all about what is going on in their lives
.....

I was needed at my daughter's
opportunity for some Finn and grandma time
Most of the time it rained and was chilly
...opportunity for rainboots and an umbrella

 

But Grandma.....I like them both
and I want my superhero umbrella
 

This is the sweetest boy on earth
and he makes his Grandma
verklempt
as he looks out the window
at his tree....Mr.Ebbersberger
....it's a long story...but that is the tree's name
and we hug it everytime we are together
...seems his parents aren't into the spirit of this relationship
hmph

 

It's still raining Grandma!
can we walk to school
argh


 

Finally his mama decides that we will drive
and he decides his red sneakers are the best choice

 

After a long day at preschool, lunch and a little playing
he crashes....
and I just watch him
a miracle
as all children are
He took a bath too this afternoon
used his papa's sage and sandlewood soap
so he can smell like his Papa
 

Today we made a birdhouse out of a milk carton
 

and hung the wool bird nesting stuff ball

played a little
find me Grandma

bird watched

 

and before we came inside for lunch

I took a picture of him next to Mr. Ebersberger
.....a tree I once believed was part of the Indian reservation
now gone

Finally a goodbye at the door
see you next week

Stars

While we
Know they are
Enormous suns,
Gold lashing
FIre-oceans,
Seas of heavy
Silver flame,

They look as
Though they could
Be swept
Down, and heaped,
cold crystal
Sparks, in one
Cupped palm.
