Seagull on ramp, waves
covering his orange feet.
And the rain comes down.

December 30, 2012

Rushing from one place
to another, searching for
something. Then go home.

December 29, 2012

Flying through the fog
in a big helicopter.
Then landing in rain.

December 28, 2012

Snuggling in cashmere
with a heating pad in bed.
Warm and toasty bliss.

December 27, 2012

The crush of people
searching for great deals and steals.
Boxing Day shopping.

December 26, 2012

Walking up to the
summit that looks over the
snowy valley. View.

December 25, 2012

Oh to be so spoiled
by everyone that I love.
But love matters more.

December 24, 2012

Excitement building
as Christmas inches its way
towards families.

December 23, 2012

Pines covered in snow
line the high hill by the house.
They look like Christmas.

December 22, 2012

Outside the window
I view the fresh snow sparkling.
People shovel out.

December 21, 2012

Snow falls silently
while I sleep in my warm bed.
Later I will walk.

December 20, 2012

Snow crunching under
foot as we walk up the hill
to view the lookout.

December 19, 2012

Awakened by a
din from gusting wind and rain.
Fall asleep with cat.

December 18, 2012

Anticipating
being at the family
home for Christmas time.

December 17, 2012

Planting spring bulbs in
pots outside my door while the
rain pelts down on me.

December 16, 2012

The wind lashes on
the trees and they scrape windows.
I curl up with tea.

December 15, 2012

Oh what a joy it
is to visit with old friends
and exchange presents.

December 14, 2012

Holiday parties,
it’s good to see old friends and
make new ones. Christmas.

December 13, 2012

Olympic mountains
with freshly fallen bright snow.
The sea laps calmly.

December 12, 2012

A beautiful pine,
the Norfolk decorated.
Living Christmas tree.

December 11, 2012

Red berries against
dark green foliage are so
pretty on holly.

December 10, 2012

Speckled birds hiding
in the low hedge waiting, but
then they fly away.

December 9, 2012

Playing Tetris with
the new house, trying to fit
our possessions in.

Playing Tetris with
the new house, trying to fit
our possessions in.

December 8, 2012

Chill air greets me as
I walk out my back door, wrap
my wool coat tighter.

December 7, 2012

Seagulls playing in
the brisk wind by the ocean.
They sail high upwards.

December 6, 2012

River otter eats

crab while seagulls squawk at him.

But he doesn't care.

December 5, 2012

Pebbles thrown up from
the ocean’s depths wait for waves
to carry them back.

December 4, 2012

Wild wind, crashing waves

make my walk by the ocean

exhilarating.

December 3, 2012

Unpacking boxes,
what a tedious task to
fill an afternoon.

December 2, 2012

Chaos and mayhem
in this new house of ours. How
can we organize?

December 1, 2012

Laundry warm from the
dryer and onto body.
Heavenly bliss, sleep.
