The last day of May

The May Fairy among the Dogwood. By Cecily Mary Barker.

Days fly by.  I've been unable to post lately for a variety of reasons.  

Our spring season has been cooler than usual and it is hard to 

imagine summer is just around the corner.  Wishing everyone a

great day.  Go do something fun.

impossible woman... have faith... there is yet time’

Thoughts on Friday

In quiet moments, usually early morning, I enjoy reading a bit of poetry.  Alison Luterman is a local writer.  I've shared this poem elsewhere but since it is a favorite of mine thought I would share it here.

 CONFESS

Alison Luterman

I stalked her
in the grocery store: her crown
of snowy braids held in place by a great silver clip,
her erect bearing, radiating tenderness,
the way she placed yogurt and avocados in her basket,
beaming peace like the North Star.
I wanted to ask "What aisle did you find
your serenity in, do you know
how to be married for fifty years, or how to live alone,
excuse me for interrupting, but you seem to possess
some knowledge that makes the earth burn and turn on its axis—"
but we don't request such things from strangers
nowadays. So I said, "I love your hair."

Occasionally I have random ideas for a blog post.  Things that don't quite go with the rest of my blog.  I've decided to bunch the posts together and call them Thoughts on Friday.  Maybe it will leave you with something to think about over the weekend.

Usually I feel like I am wearing the cover before I get the whole thing put together.  One of my daughters has a method she uses that goes... something about rolling the cover up and put it on like a pair of nylons.  I wonder if she makes house calls.

The circus hasn't folded its tent yet.  Progress is being made though.  

I'm looking forward to the weekend when business basically can't be done.  No phone calls, etc.  I have a brand new book to read.  A surprise gift from by online friend Laurie.  

What are your weekend plans?
