a slow afternoon–
time alone with a hard rain
beating the grasses



damp infested wood–
growing in the garden shed
two types of mushrooms



Japanese garden
from one path to another–
nothing on my mind




grapes ready to pick–
cobwebs connecting bottles
in Grandpa' s cellar




dinner al fresco–
candles sputtering the scent
of citronella



footprints on the floor–
beginning the mud season
with a new rag mop
