chatting with friends
discussing house fall projects
where has this year gone?

backyard at dusk
sun sparkles in run off
fireflies appear

chat with sister
setting up weekend visit
of movies and dip

late night read
full moon moves arcs the window
suspense building

after vaca
finding the sweet spot
in my bed

chatting with sisters
coordinating arrivals
and meal plans

after mahuf visit
resting on the couch
exhaling loudly

thunderstorms
play across the dusky sk
parched lawns rejoice

late night read
enjoying a pretend world
as the moon travels

end of the week
trying to make it to the couch
for aggressive rest

late into the night
found energy to do chores
and sort out my life

fourth watch
80 degrees in the air
watering the garden

heat wave returned-
late night foray to the market
no cook dinners

evening surprise-
garden hose reaches
to the front yard
