Gemini Season

 

It’s the reason for the season

And the seasoning gets sprinkled 

Far and wide

I 

We

Ours

Tonight 

Tomorrow 

Over easy 

And more

Heat

Bugs

Clothes 

Not

Bother

Lather

Blather

Wicked fields 

Of ice

Craven

Laughable in perpetuity 

For posterity 

Hidden city

Of motivational gold

No one 

No’s

Like breaking in new shoes

I will travel in you

And

In your wake

Whatever blisters 

You should 

Choose 

To bruise

You

Don’t have to smile 

During

Or at all

Perfect

As it is not swell

As it is

It is yours 

Imperfect 

In its

Slow 

Overtaking

A beauty 

I can’t 

With my heart 

Reconcile

Watching 

As you synchronized 

Your flash 

With the beats 

Of dreams 

In the edges

Of the dark

Dark 

Woods

Broad show

Intangible

Trace

Of bloom

Old weed

Take this 

Mangled foliage

Spacial 

Recognition 

My space

Your space

Not colonizing

I evacuated 

The airlock 

Trying to

Suffocate 

My needs

And I never 

Really 

Needed to 

Life Update

 

Things are happening!!! 

What no poems today?!? Tomorrow, I promise!!!

But till then… LOOK!!!

We finally brought our big couch down to the front room!!!

And in classic fashion ~ I sat down for a break in the running around tweaking things and cleaning AND watering the plants… lil Kit took his opportunity to nap trap me… so cute.

We are loving having the big couch with better back support in the main “living room “…

And our Mr Mars is still with us, he’s doing well, eating, being semi normal etc… and it’s been two weeks since he had a seizure… he’s such a trooper. So much love, and we are so glad that the stress levels have come down for all involved…

Husband snapped a wee pic of the west garden after we had worked on the solar lights. Removed all of the brokens and replaced etc… the only issue ~ those torches~ trigger our wyze cams throughout the night to fill up our event files with typically 65 clips every night… 

I’ve been hoping that if a porcupine happens past while these clips are being recorded ~ it will get logged… but I’ve seen only torches… lol oh well… these decisions aren’t high on the list… to torch light or not…. 

What would you do…?

 The Phoebe birds have moved in and added on to their nest this year… the rim is now so high, I can not get a glimpse of what’s happening up there… hopefully we will get a look once it’s full up with babies…

And the summer shoes and tote have been helping me carry the bits and bobs up to the studio in my afternoon romps with paint and organizing…

Can’t believe it’s almost summer! And warm weather is coming this week! And my bday month…

And these! I think out of all the different types of brushes I’ve used over the years… I think I found my favorite brushes!!!!

Guaranteed to make the weekly painting videos happen with even more enthusiasm!!!

And I will leave you with that… because I have a long list of stuff to get to today!!! And the sun is out! And if motivation is high, I’m taking full advantage!!!

May more opportunities for happiness find their way to you my friends ~

Flights ~ 72: The Ring

 

72: The Ring

One day 

The ring

Went 

Dark

Blinking 

Off

And

Losing its light

Mayhaps 

Forever 

Keeping

It’s newer secret 

Taking breath 

From onlookers 

Revealing 

A new truth

Within 

Three more Flights and 13 to go?

 

69:

Circus

Eclipse 

Overrun

In two

If I knew your 

True name

Would I

Be brave 

And use it

70:

Pen and paper 

Holy grail 

Fights of fancy 

My mind 

Is a jail 

Square footage 

Circle the bowl

Memories 

Will lapse 

And so say 

Us all

71:

You only need

To 

Chew

Over the words 

Take in

The subtleties 

And draw

Up 

The notes

Savor

What they tell you 

I know 

This place 

And I’ve 

Met you 

Before 

The Boogers of Life (sleepless)

 

We are my darling friends 

So tired

Keeping watch on the Olde Charli Girl 

She’s leveled out again 

After having another episode 

Not as scary as the others

But still concerning… my adrenaline 

Keeps me at full attention till 2, then my melatonin takes over 

For 3….

Sunshine 

Its the other days sun

In the morning front room coffee moments…

 

Last weeks Vlog edits

And the sammich 

That Mars 

Couldn’t wait to get a bite of…

Bowling ball arborvitae 

Score… 

The cherry out front having its bloom

We are all chipmunks and broken drawers here

Mr Mars…

This was from last November…

He had lost the sight in his right eye…

Now the cancer has made seeing out of his left

Impossible…

Though he doesn’t seem to mind…

We have given him his fortifying “juice”

Every morning after brekkie 

His appetite is huge

And he makes his way around the house flawlessly 

Despite the blindfold of his aging

We don’t know how long we will have 

2-4 moths

Maybe 12…?

He’s been my lil bear for 15 years…

All we can do is prepare and have decisions ready 

While they’re still easy enough to make

And stay living in the moments we have left with him…

Even if those moments are 

Lack of sleep driven 

And 

Wacky to boot…

As I sit listening to a dog snore

And bees 

In the azaleas 

Behind me…
