December 31, 2018

As old year closes,
new amaryllis opens-
new life in new year.

December 30, 2018

Observe closely and
you'll see nature's miracles-
gifts waiting for us.

December 29, 2018

Kind husband spoils me,
sleep-in and French toast brunch- love
weekend's slower pace.

December 28, 2018

At the hospital
again, more tests, Friday night
fun- twin pregnancy.

December 27, 2018

Amaryllis bud
slowly unfurls- a new year
ushers in new blooms.

December 26, 2018

Perfect time of year
to curl up by the fire- dream
of summer flowers.

December 25, 2018

Sweet spices fill air,
annual gingerbread baked-
it feels like Christmas.

December 24, 2018

Christmas is coming
round the mountain quickly- soon
it will be a wrap.

December 23, 2018

Do you ever get
the feeling someone's watching
you?  Sometimes I do.

December 22, 2018

One by one, bite by
bite, you'll vanish- sweet stepping
stones through holidays.

December 21, 2018

A glimpse of sunshine,
memories of summers passed-
winter solstice gift.

December 20, 2018

Despite December's
gloomy weather, spring things grow-
springtime is coming.

December 19, 2018

Unrepresented,
Christmas squid- product of my
cabin fevered mind.

December 18, 2018

Christmas grows closer,
one more day crossed off- Advent
calendar nears end.

December 17, 2018

Precious December
light illuminates autumn's
bounty- seasons change.

December 16, 2018

Snow might not show up,

we can pretend anyways-

West Coast winter woes.

December 15, 2018

The days fall away,
each one shorter and darker-
stumbling to Christmas.

December 14, 2018

Pregnant with twins, I'm
exhausted- and so are my
napping companions.

December 13, 2018

Raindrops shine, though light
in winter is dim- jewels
to light December.

December 12, 2018

Rain-soaked West Coast night,
probably no white Christmas-
we're okay with that.

December 11, 2018

Storm lets up briefly,
reward for wet day, sunset
clouds- before dark night.

December 10, 2018

Anticipation
grows day by day- Christmas is
different with kids.

December 9, 2018

Cozy days call for
culinary delights- warm
pancakes on cold days.

December 8, 2018

I have a feeling,
someone is watching me- or
am I the watcher?

December 7, 2018

Daylight fades quickly,
warm tones cast onto distant
peak- sky's lullaby.

December 6, 2018

You seem so close some
days, distant others- does the
space between us change?

December 5, 2018

Christmas cactus lights
up house- guiding me one day
closer to new year.

December 4, 2018

Sunset's rosy hue,
embraces Mount Baker- snow
warms, ready for bed.

December 3, 2018

Through the frosty air,
I can see for miles- distant
peak shines in late sun.

December 2, 2018

Fresh boughs gathered, a
reminder of December,
knocking at door- wreath.

December 1, 2018

Child's look of wonder,
December's a strange time of
year- o Christmas tree.

November 30, 2018

Trying to light deck,
old autumn chrysanthemum-
daylight fades too soon.

November 29, 2018

Strawberries wither,
insufficient sun for them-
too warm to perish.

November 28, 2018

Falling into dark,
earlier every day- we
wait for tide to turn.

November 27, 2018

For the next few months,
I'll pretend I'm in Provence-
lavender daydreams.

November 26, 2018

How many plants do
I own now? I'm too scared to
count- cabin fever.

November 25, 2018

United briefly,
my weekend pancakes are gone-
a sweet memory.

November 24, 2018

Christmas cacti bloom,
a myriad of colours-
rainbow to winter.

November 23, 2018

Summer's harvest gone,
autumn's cold rains prepare earth-
for spring's warm embrace.

November 22, 2018

Nothing delights like
red poinsettias- Christmas
then seems less daunting.

November 21, 2018

The weekend can't come
fast enough- my only chance
at gorgeous pancakes.

November 20, 2018

Far away snow white
peak gleams, late afternoon light-
soon view slips away.

November 19, 2018

Hot pink arrests the
eye, sun or clouds, fall colours
are muted- feast now.

November 18, 2018

Bouquet of flowers,
something to remind me that
spring will return- soon.

November 17, 2018

Even car parks have
beauty at times- when you're there
and present to see.

November 16, 2018

Artificial sun
when the real one deserts us-
yellow bouquet shines.

November 15, 2018

Hidden from prying
eyes, protected from probing
fingers- cactus fruit.

November 14, 2018

A reminder of
warmer climes, fairer seasons-
anthuriums.

November 13, 2018

Two heads are better
than one, except while pregnant-
then one does wonder.

November 12, 2018

Long weekend doesn't
apply to hard-working folk-
nutty by nature.
