Golden larch forest, alpine meadow:
Sacred places where I want to stay.
How did I dare enter there,
Knowing I must go away?

The happy goose found her perfect nesting site. The camper top was high, dry and warm in the sun. That she had to defend the spot from attacks with numerous snowballs and a few brooms only confirmed it's desirability. Given all this, she was shocked when every egg

There once was a girl who liked limericks
But hated when people were big dicks
So she'd take up a pen
Write a verse about them
So her laughter could shimmer quick

Early in the pandemic, I bought a “spring edition” of Rice Crispies that featured some green and blue crispies. Since all was snow and mud outdoors, I planned to boost our spirits by making them into cakes, shaped as flowers. I had never made them before.

Cool evenings close warm days
the golden hour, hours long
early autumn: summer's swan song
The floods
themselves washed away
left the old crusty banks
as new riverbed under-quilts
the secret swing hangs still, over their musty damp
There, join I
upside-down
rise - soar - crown
fall - arc - fly

(There was no line tool, so excuse my badly drawn ones. The hypotenuse provides the diameter and then radius to calculate the new curve needed so the counter fit in the space.)

Look away, Baby, look away

And have fallen to the ground
Look away, Baby, look away
But you love trails outside
So I guess you have to see the waaaaay
