The earth, O LORD,
is full of thy mercy:
teach me thy statutes.
Psalm 119: 64 (KJV)

waiting
for the coffee
by a window
and the leaves
in a little wind
seem like wings
of a small bird
or butterfly

long winter night
many years
go through my mind
the decades deepen
trust in God
and my heart is at peace

Creative Notes
This week I reviewed some of our archives, and created posts for Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. Readers of this site will also be familiar with some of the content.
Time and Place: Grateful for Parks in Town
The first two posts include many of Karl’s photos. I like to think we are adding to the record of our local history. As I reviewed, I saw that I wrote several new haiku this year, and created a post for the poems.
And I wrote a post, Christmas 2019, for Quiet Christmas Poetry, so readers know the book is still available, with information about where to order. We created the book from the site in 2014, and I write an update once in a great while. Perhaps the book will be an introduction to blogs for some readers.

Favorite Photos – Spring 2019
As I review our archives, here are some favorite garden journal photos by Karl from Spring 2019. Hope to create a calendar some year.
Karl also took photos of pelicans and Lake Michigan.
