Things I've Seen This Month

1. A miniscule apple-green inchworm on the warm mahogany wood of my desk.

2. The slow leak of light at dawn on a cloudy day, after pulling an all-nighter.

3. A pink nose and kitty whiskers on my pillow and in my face.

4. A blue and grey sky, as moody and changeable as the sea.

5. Fuzz on the couches and tumbleweed furballs in the corner of the dining room.

6. A kitchen sink full of dirty dishes.

7. Tulips and lilacs still in bloom on the other side of town.

8. A black and white cat chasing a grey bunny through the green grass in the dark twilight blue.

9. A pint of raspberries.

10. A good friend's name on caller ID.

What have you seen lately?

"Things I've Seen" is a sporadically appearing list of visuality.

The most notable thing I have seen as of late is the cool days and cold mornings we are having in the desert- rare and cherished for sure!
