August 15, 2017

Half your leg shorter
than my foot- hard to believe
I was that small once.

August 14, 2017

Leaves drift down early,
long drought, thirsty trees- or is
autumn here too soon?

August 13, 2017

Summer sunsets are
coming to a close- day by
day fall creeps nearer.

August 12, 2017

Overcast skies like
October tonight- think back
to sunsets before.

August 11, 2017

When I get up, you're
just heading to bed- you're a
party animal.

August 10, 2017

Hands stained and scratched, my
treasure’s in colander- how
shall I consume you?

August 9, 2017

Even when apart,
I think of you oft-  in a
very fond way still.

August 8, 2017

Kitchen violet
provides beauty- even when
dishes are piled high.

August 7, 2017

Your little hand in
mine- always reminds me to
cherish every day.

August 6, 2017

Hands-free used to mean
speakerphone- now it means a
baby carrier.

August 5, 2017

Can’t tell what time of
day it is by light- hazy
air makes orange gloom.

August 4, 2017

Rosy lining of
smoke filled air, stunning sunsets-
our lungs don’t agree.

August 3, 2017

Burning through thick haze,
sun sinks away- orange light
fades, we fall asleep.

August 2, 2017

Smoke mottled air close
over town as it winds down-
sun casts rosy rays.

August 1, 2017

Scent of warm peanut
butter cookies waft- hopeful
onlooker observes.

July 31, 2017

Despite broken sleep,
I smile- fresh baked cookies cure
a range of ailments.

July 30, 2017

In the shady glade,
one could find a nap place-warm
summer afternoon.

July 29, 2017

As July burns out,
we enjoy fruits of summer-
sun warmed blackberries.

July 28, 2017

Seems like the washing
machine is constantly on-
meanwhile baby sleeps.

July 27, 2017

How could my feet have
ever been this small? Babies
make us nostalgic.

July 26, 2017

Opportunity
comes from banana crisis-
warm banana bread.

July 25, 2017

Summer day dawns, I’m
awake- baby’s nocturnal,
so now I am too.

July 24, 2017

We keenly wait for
your darkening to sweetness-
summer blackberries.

July 23, 2017

When the sun set, I
used to anticipate sleep-
my baby changed that.

July 22, 2017

Doesn’t matter if
it’s cloudy- held hostage by
my newborn baby.

July 21, 2017

Your birthday comes, but
you’re not here to celebrate-
miss you every day.

July 20, 2017

Day, night blur, endless
feeding, burping, and changing-
only baby sleeps.

July 19, 2017

Is it sunset or
sunrise? New parents must stop
and think for a while.

July 18, 2017

Can't believe there was
a time, when my hands were this
small- 'twas long ago.

July 17, 2017

Most difficult job
I've ever held has largest
reward-  lasting love.

June 11, 2017

While we wait, let’s eat-
pancakes on Sunday seem right,
not too indulgent.

June 10, 2017

Diaphanous clouds
shroud strengthening spring sunshine-
the skies the limit.

June 9, 2017

Almost time to say
goodbye to the belly- hi
to a new human.

June 8, 2017

Let’s forget about
the rain, have tea and muffins-
pretend it’s Friday.

June 7, 2017

Weary body, mind
buzzing- sunset tells me to
sleep, brain to stay up.

June 6, 2017

We're stocking up now,
supplies for long stay at home-
last pregnancy weeks.

June 5, 2017

Blue upon blue on
blue, meet at the horizon-
sun scares clouds away.

June 4, 2017

Pancakes disappeared
so fast, I couldn’t take a
photo of them- mmmmm.

June 3, 2017

Searing red curry
cooled by rich coconut rice-
we share a Thai lunch.

June 2, 2017

Grey clouds loom, sun peaks
over boughs of Douglas fir-
will it rain or shine?

June 1, 2017

Vivid daydream, pink
peony clasps golden heart-
June arrives with class.

May 31, 2017

Orange dreams arrive
over the treetops- sleep rests
heavy hands on me.

May 30, 2017

Rain-soaked day makes me
remember sunset, clear dusk-
rain, rain, go away.

May 29, 2017

Out of favourite
tea, revert to another-
Monday challenges.

May 28, 2017

May breezes into
June- bright pink peonies ease
spring’s disappearance.

May 27, 2017

Night sky closes in,
blue extinguishing orange
sunset embers- night.

May 26, 2017

Over the rooftops,
over strait, there’s snowy peaks-
Olympic Mountains.

May 25, 2017

Spring flowers give us
hope for long summer, harvest-
a pretty view now.

May 24, 2017

A bento box and
laugh with you, just like old times-
some things never change.

May 23, 2017

Endless blue skies reach
from here to infinity-
breeze carries birdsong.
