Spring Calves

Spring calves: spindly legs,
Shiny black coats, twitchy tails.
Placid cows chewing cud.

Garden Dirt

Dirt under my nails.
Purity and (w)holiness
of highest order.

First Planting

Gardening brings me
To my knees in prayer, praise,
Thanksgiving and pain.


March 3 was a fair spring day in East Tennessee after Friday's storms. I had the opportunity to plant spinach, broccoli, romaine and leaf lettuce. I also cleared beds that should have been cleared in the fall.

Gardens don't always
Keep promises made in spring,
But I keep hoping.

Beach Walk

Face into the wind
Cheeks sun-warmed, sand between toes
Essence of beach walk


Hour by hour changes
This February weather
More fickle than March

Willets

Walking on the beach
In the company of Willets,
Bathed in morning sun.

After the Storm

West wind whipping flags
Pushing white-capped waves to shore.
Sun shines bright after storms.
