Serendipity (re-posted from exactly four years ago)
Spring Through the newly-opened window, warm air, fresh with new peach blossoms, slides across your skin. Late-afternoon warmth of you mingled with me joins behind my nose until the scent of flower petals will forever link my brain instantly to us. The slanted, daylight-saved sun casts your langorous limbs in gold alongside mine. I hold [...]
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Last night was GS1′s first middle school basketball game. He played and practiced all summer, begged his mom to go to the tryouts, pulled up a couple of lower grades (his grades have been really good this first semester), and made the cut after a week of tryouts. G and I got there about the [...]
Surprise
Just when I think we’ve settled, when I can’t seem to communicate my needs in any form, when we brush up against each other and feel prickles instead of tingles, something happens. In the dark, in the night, she reaches for me easily, gently, softly, pulling me closer, caressing me without hurry, paying attention to [...]
Sacred
Today I worshiped at the altar of late summer bounty. After my work shift was over, before I needed to start on the next freelance project, I went outside with bowl and garden scissors to pick the peppers off the five or six plants we have in the front yard. They were bursting with beautiful [...]
Good Day
Today was a good day. I slept in, with very odd dreams between 4-something a.m. and 7-ish when I got up (that’s sleeping in for me). The sun was up and the sky was Colorado blue. I made breakfast crescent rolls (yes, Pillsbury), some with ham and cheese, some with cinnamon/sugar. Coffee. Birdwatching. I rambled [...]
Another Reason Why
Yesterday, we got the house painted. G had been wanting to get it done for some time and my daughter and her husband offered to do it for a pretty small price and we finally narrowed down the colors and found them (trim color $5.00 for 5 gallons in the Lowe’s mistint section–other people’s mistakes [...]
I Just Love…
…it when my wife brings me coffee downstairs when I’m typing away. It just gives a whole new “lift” to the afternoon that has nothing to do with caffeine!!I heart my wife so much!!GG
What I Had Waiting
Yesterday, I came upstairs to take a quick break from my type, type, typing. See what I had waiting when I went back down? These asters are from our favorite bush–once again, they seemed to have just “showed up” by the water garden. Most asters that I’ve seen are light lavender or periwinkle. I’ve never [...]
There is a Moment
Tomorrow, I start my new job. At 7:30 a.m., I will be getting a call from someone in the IT department to help me install the software (not done yet) and foot pedal (already done) that they sent me, and then I’ll be on my way. I’m a little nervous, but I’ll get over it. [...]
