signs

a few signs spotted

around town,

does anyone

repair televisions

these days?

i plan to

visit

the malta bake

shop.

farturas are

a portuguese

doughnut,

something

else to try.

i do not fear

friday the 13th.

happy weekend!

shopping centre blues

the occasions

that require a

visit

to the shopping

centre

are often

dispiriting.

usually i return

home without

the needed purchase.

this time

success,

but it was a

compromise.

magnolia

i had my

mother over

for a mother's

day lunch.

she brought

these beautiful

magnolia blossoms

for me to

enjoy.

at last

cherry blossoms

appeared,

the sun

disappeared.

almost

cherry tree buds

almost ready to

burst

into blossoms,

willow leaves

promising

to unfurl

any day

and the

water

still a chilly

blue.

sketchbook activities

lately i have been

working on a

project

confined to a

sketchbook.

may day

happy may!

the first of may

greeted us

with showers,

where are

those flowers?

the blue

tabletop was

the biggest

dose of

colour today.
