Early sunset comes,
adding colour to soft clouds-
dreamy dusk dozes.

December 24, 2018

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

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 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 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.

December 30, 2017

What has a hole now?
Never-ending cycle of
laundry and mending.

December 29, 2017

Daylight or twilight?
Who can really tell what time
it is in winter.

December 22, 2017

In time for Christmas
Red Lion Amaryllis
blooms- festive splendor.

December 9, 2017

Dark early, gloomy
greys, Christmas creeping closer-
just craft yourself numb.

December 7, 2017

Red poinsettia,
much needed colour in fall-
and holiday feel.

November 29, 2017

Everywhere you look,
the holidays are at our
throats- December nears.

December 1, 2016

While I was sleeping,
Jack Frost dropped by- ice crystals
herald December.
