Scare Me!

Witches and goblins
are wandering in the streets,
It's Halloween night.

How Does It All End?

"Death is not the end,"
(we've been confused all life long)
"It is a release."

Quotes:  Patricia Hampl in "Virgin Time"

Burrrr....

Twenty-eight degrees --
A cold October morning,
Scraping car windows.

First Freeze

Frost on the windows,
Where did I put the scraper?
Look under the seat.

Baker Man

Mixed up the batter
To bake banana muffins --
Don't forget walnuts!

Lights Out?

A wave of darkness
washes over my psyche --
Will I drown this time?

Never Fails!

An annoying day,
Repairing leaky plumbing.
Stop a leak -- starts one!

Morning Weather

Forty-nine degrees,
Drive to work in a dense fog,
Clear at the office.

Occupy Eugene*

Locals join the cause,
Their tents fill a downtown park.
Police let them be.


A website is up and running.

Slow Down

Running out of work,
Budget cuts, fewer projects --
More creative time.

More Hints of Fall



Outside my window
Leaves turn a dazzling yellow,
Say "goodbye" to green*!

* Which turned blue taking the photo through the window.

Chamber Amici*

Went to a concert,
Strings playing Brahms and Haydn --
Classical magic!

How Much Longer?

Postman stops his truck,
Gets out and walks to the house.
Drops mail in the box.

Snooze

Another downpour,
Sounds of droplets on the roof
Lull me off to sleep.

Auto Mystery

The car would not start.
Tightened battery cable --
It solved the problem!

It's Back!

The rain has returned,
No sunshine in the forecast
For at least five days.
