july

hot hot hot
july
slipped
through the garden gate
flowers
bravely
keep their
bloom
i seek
shade
and cool
breezes.
keep cool
this weekend.

parade

parking underground,

stopping for

poutine a popular dish, not

the best offering.

parades still take place

on main street.

a walk

used car sales
rusty stairs
to nowhere
a grey
thoughtful
donkey
scenes
from a
walk
on a hot
sunny
day.

days

some days
look
like this.

sunday picnic

scenes from our sunday
picnic,
we found a shady
quiet spot
at a local park,
it is good to get
out of the house
away from unfinished
projects and chores.
the organic strawberries
from the market
were a tasty treat,
miss m enjoyed
a few.
summer
celebrations
officially have
begun.

saturday market

under a threatening sky

we walked to 

the market,

i bought greens,

strawberries and

radishes,

we made 

it home

just as

it started

to rain.

now 

lunch.

wishing you

a good 

weekend.

june walk

living in a large 

city

it is balm

for the 

urban soul

to escape

briefly

into an oasis

of green

and quiet,

almost

quiet

minus the 

sound of

battling 

squirrels.
