  1. The quail sez "BobWhite!" from our back-lane Eden as BGPoet drives off to her Wildacres Workshop--is this how this thing works?-Poppysmatus
  2. Butterfly weed, ironweed, chicory and queen anne's lace, squashes, cucumbers, beans and new potatoes. Summer!

  4. A murmer of urban traffic, a conversation of crows, a white cloud, blue sky morning. The fresh breeze ruffles my skirt, chills my arms.
  5. An aerial combat of robins, pinwheel of rose in a ray of rising sun.
  6. More beets than morning glories in the garden now. I sip merlot and contemplate red. The cardinal sings in the wild cherry.
  7. The spider hides in the workshop, brown and gray, a walking knot of bark among the wood chips.
  8. The bearded liquor-store clerk calls me hon, though he's probably half my age. Another milestone on my road to dotage.
  9. A month of high summer rain and vines run amuck: morning glories, wild sweet potatoes, even beans send their scouts into the wilderness.
  10. This morning the cardinal, not the robin, was the first to greet the shorter day, the dark of the moon. Is this the priest of high summer?
  11. All day the tractor engine ran loud then soft in the neighbor's field. With evening, the smell of hay on the breeze.
  12. The granddaddy in the dish drainer tries to take shelter in the inverted glass. Up he climbs, down he slides, until I tire of watching.
  13. The mist on the hayfield glows like a cathedral window in the sun, but the mosquitoes still swarm.
  14. A rare stillness of robin on a low twig of dogwood. The morning is dim as storm conditions build again. The robin wearily grooms a wing.
  15. It's 6:30. Here's our evening rain. I'll swear we live in the tropics now.
  16. Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead . . . James Joyce. (It's Bloomsday) #quote
  17. Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead -- J.J. !quote It's Bloomsday.
  18. Showers and thunderstorms are likely, showers and thunderstorms are inevitable, I'm as brittle as my over-saturated garden.
  19. The day is gray, my mood is black. I feel as blank as a default avatar, a gray square with a black slash for a mouth.
  20. Cabbage moths settle and fly, settle and fly. The cabbage curls into fists around their lay. A wasp drinks from a drop on a collard leaf.
