Cooking is

Life

Life affirming

Life-giving

Bringing people

Together

Family over

Food celebrating 

This moment is

A good

Moment

Winterscape 

A freezing morning 

crunchy snow mulch path.

Chattering birds Starlings 

nested in the black bamboo many many

Distant geese 

The wooden crane calls

Raindrop drips, frozen

On the bare rose canes.

Winter Interest

Not stunning.

Just quietly pretty.

The faintest dusting of snow

Tall brown sunflowers

winter interest

Seeds birds eat

Distant geese

Air cold and crisp

io: Feeding on beauty.

A fuzz of periwinkle clouds

Moving quickly.
