I read the news and
it isn’t good.
It’s not safe outside
my neighborhood.
I’ve been too long
staying out of trouble…
safe at home
in my COVID Bubble.
Pacific Northwest Weather
Life’s back to normal.
The “heat dome’s” gone.
The morning is chilly.
My furnace kicked on.
Brown Bunnies
The bunnies are growing bigger and bigger.
They’ve lost their trim baby-bunny fig’re.
They get enough food ‘cause they’re eating my plants
(a most unfortunate circumstance).
But the streams are drying as the weather is hotter.
So, where are the bunnies getting their water?
Today’s Wishes
Butterflies. Rainbows.
Fairies in a ring.
Dancing elves. Unicorns.
Things to make you sing.
Daily Mile
The fog made it cool
for my daily mile.
My pace is slowing.
It takes awhile.
Brown Bunnies
It’s been three weeks since we had rain.
The weather is hotter and hotter.
The bunnies still play out in my yard.
Where are they finding their water?
CNN Breaking News: “At least 150 people fatally shot in more than 400 shootings over the Fourth of July weekend.”
I read the news
and it wasn’t good.
Folks aren’t behaving the
way they should.
They’re killing each other
left and right.
Shooting’s a sport on
Saturday night.
Ho Hum.
Fog
There’s a blanket of fog—
moved in overnight.
The world’s a white blankness—
nothng in sight.
Independence Day
July 4, 2021
Washington State Re-Opens
They say this Celebration
marks the End of the COVID Fear.
They say if you get the new Vaccine,
you face a Bright New Year.
They say for some,
it’s getting worse.
For most of us,
we’ve passed the Curse.
They say our lives
will all be changed…
our “normal” patterns
re-arranged…
We mourn: Six hundred thousand dead.
But, now we see there’s life ahead.
We had a look at the face of death.
Now we’re grateful for our life and breath.
Goodbye, Mr. Kitty
It’s hard to say Goodbye to a friend….
…to be there with him at life’s end…
…to give a final, loving pet…
…the slow and tear-stained trip to the Vet.
