Leaving the island,
to hit the hot open road.
In search of summer.

Stargazer lilies,
beyond fair, perfume wafting.
Summer memories.

July 29, 2014

Sunlight filters through
the dusty blinds to stir me.
Close my eyes and drift.

Too hot from the sun,
he retreats into cool shade.
Spread toes emit heat.

The house in shambles,
from weeks of neglect. Husband
comes to our rescue.

July 26, 2014

I've been fighting you
off for weeks with checkered sleep.
Rotten summer cold.

July 25, 2014

Pondering a trip,
but it's just so much damn work.
I'll procrastinate.

July 24, 2014

Price fixing cell phone
companies leave us no choice.
I'll use tin cans, string.

July 23, 2014

Inspired by Etsy,
on a quest for perfect shorts,
for my kimono.

July 22, 2014

I feel overwhelmed,
swimming in seas of papers.
"Paperless" new world.

Break out the tuna,
time to celebrate his birth.
Lamont's blithe birthday.

Coming down from high
of sister's gorgeous wedding.
Months of work complete.

July 19, 2014

Words cannot express
the union of two dear hearts.
Summer wedding vows.

July 18, 2014

More nervous than I
was before my own wedding,
sister's wedding eve.

July 17, 2014

The warm evening breeze,
carries the sound of birds' songs.
Summer reverie.

July 16, 2014

Cat's side rising and
falling, as he sleeps in sun.
Warm serenity.

July 15, 2014

So much to complete,
before my sister's wedding.
Nearing finish line.

July 14, 2014

White band of thick fog,
echoes the bright glaciers on
the tall blue mountains.

July 13, 2014

Red anthurium
flowers brighten living room.
Splendid scarlet blooms.

July 12, 2014

My orange and white
striped dress flutters in the wind.
Summer sun scorches.

July 11, 2014

Gleaming glaciers on
the Olympic Mountains crown
the blue Georgia Strait.

July 10, 2014

Fog over the straight,
blue skies above, drying grass
between toes. Summer.

Glistening ruby
morsels of divine sweetness.
Bing cherry season.

July 8, 2014

Visiting Oak Bay,
makes me miss living behind
the great tweed curtain.

July 7, 2014

I try rolling back
to my big fluffy pillow,
but the cat beat me.

July 6, 2014

Victoria, quaint,
newly-wed and nearly dead.
Sleepy old Sundays.

July 5, 2014

Sen Zushi craving,
gorgeous sushi, sashimi.
I've missed you like air.

July 4, 2014

What will be left of
the garden when I view it?
Daisies and foxgloves.

July 3, 2014

The deer have eaten
almost every last fine plant.
So much for "deer proof."

July 2, 2014

I eke out more time
in bed, my hand touching paws.
Cats inspire sweet sleep.

July 1, 2014

Maple leaves flutter
in the balmy summer breeze.
Canada revels.
