A year ago, what was different about your homestead?
Computer maybe in a different place - on a different desk - with a different person using them? If you wore such short shorts today, how would you fair in these cold temperatures?
Just walking down the hill - remember the Joe Pie weed before seeds, before blooms?
This peach tree will be robbed of fruit? Peaches that identify almost the exact day in the season, before the squirrels threw them upon the ground, dancing!
Brazen, the dog, is wandering up to the basketball courts. Or is she just finding a sunny patch to be free? Will she "do the good thing?"
Probably. Under this old black walnut, how can the observer know it is this kind of tree, and yet it is.
A patch of plants with five leaflets remind me of something familiar.
The neighbors will build a fence right here Minute 5:29 but do we know?
The self conscious gallop of a dog watched and herded.
The contemplative puppy thinking and pondering.
A job well done.
Mulberry trees that do not bare sweet fruit. Just junk decorative green berries.
Do you know which birds we hear?
One calling its late summer trill.
The apple tree, the dog obedient. Houseplants finding more sun love than their winter layers.
This grapevine, this stump, this warm spot where an old dog dreams.
