What was on the wall that day.
The street I grew up on had three big elms. Two are gone now. The third still drops leaves on the same patch of sidewalk.
A black bear with two cubs across the meadow. Far enough.
The cat slow-blinking at me from across the room.
Bees in the lavender. Whole bush humming.
Grateful that I made it to fifty. Some of my friends didn't.
Found a salamander under a log on a hike. The kids could not stop laughing about its tiny face.
My daughter sent me a screenshot of her ticket home.
Saw a great gray owl perched at the gate before dawn.
My nephew runs to me at every family dinner. I am the silly aunt. I take this seriously.
Grateful for the people who keep the river clean. I swam in it yesterday.
New mittens.
A crow tried to share its breakfast with me today. I declined politely.
