As I type this post, the May garden grows and begins to look towards June. Today is sunny. We enjoy our old house, and are grateful every day. Good to have goals, and goals can be revised as needed. Memorial Day Weekend, 2023.
Bible on my shelf
a ribbon holds my place
in the Psalms
older now
used books settle
in their new home
new space
on a few shelves
donated books
“older now” was published in All the Way Home: Aging in Haiku (2019). Edited by Robert Epstein. Middle Island Press, West Union, WV.

I love the LORD,
because he hath heard
my voice and
my supplications.
Psalm 116: 1
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7
far from perfect
and in need of grace
we found our way
to unconditional love

This morning, I am trying some ideas for short poems, from what I wrote yesterday.
grateful
to see old friends
time in the yard
flowers bloom
and bees visit
the gardens
primroses, ferns
daffodils, and
bleeding hearts
lily and hyacinth
plants from stores
now by the back door
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Psalm 108: 3
Compassion International offers a Gift Catalog.
Karl and I sent a general gift for Art Classes.
This prompt brings back memories of attending concerts by the MSO Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra some time ago. We watch many good art and music programs on Milwaukee PBS. Thank you.
