My grandmother gave me these iris when I was seven - well, not these exact iris but the bulbs from which these came. They have gone every where I have gone since then. Now, I will walk by them every day when I go to my sit spot. I will think of my beloved grandmother Rabun and the many many gifts she bestowed on me.
Rest
I spent the day in the garden dividing plants and pulling weeds, cutting things back, and considering what we will grow in the spring.
Gnats
This morning
the flicker was proudly announcing
the arrival of the Coopers Hawk
followed by the mobbing
of the Hawk
by the crows.
The crows were adament that it needed to move on out
today.
Hidden rain
Sometimes when I feel really lost...
I find myself again in the forest
An am almost always
guided
by the Coopers Hawk.
