It’s cooled off really, really quickly. I’m shivering out here. I was looking around the yard to see what flowers I had, because tomorrow, we’re going to go remember my father. I want some flowers to throw into the water down at the pier. I think a few of these apple blossoms would be nice. […]

Day 224 – Front Deck Bench
These Dutch irises are absolutely my favorite flower on the planet. I wish my whole yard was filled with them and I would be happy if they flowered the whole year round. But they don’t. They’re only out for such a short period of time. But they are so incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful.
Day 198 – Back Deck Bench
It’s a very blustery spring day. I’m sitting in my backyard. I found a notebook from years ago. I wrote a lot in it during one of those workshops that promises to work through your issues. This notebook contains a history of my life, but only of all the issues, so it’s full of hurts, […]
Day 196 – Back Deck Bench
It is so cold out here today that I am shivering. The wind is like ice. It’s typical spring – warm one day, freezing the next. It’s been raining on and off. There’s another big storm coming, but for now, the sunset is reflecting on the wet back deck. I was hoping to have a […]

Day 193 – Back Deck Bench
Sitting out here today, I feel hopeful. I feel excited to see what will come next. It’s such a wonderful feeling, particularly as lately I haven’t felt this way very much.
Day 192 – Back Deck Bench
It’s the most perfect spring day. The sky is blue. The air is cold, but my back deck is sheltered from the wind. The sun is so warm. My peach tree has sprouted. It has pink blossoms everywhere.
Day 184 – Back Deck Bench
It’s a lovely afternoon. It’s warm on the back deck and quite still. The cherry blossom trees behind the fence are in full bloom. The little plum tree in my yard is also blooming. I’m going to take a photo of that.
Day 169 – Back Deck Bench
I’m out here at sunset. There’s crickets and frogs. It’s always good to come outside. It changes things up, and changes the way you think. When something’s tough, try stepping outside.
Day 76 – Back Deck Bench
Again, there was no words… Only a quiet sense of space, and the gently falling rain. Another image, of the profusion of buds on what I think might be primrose, but I’m not sure.
