Cat Hat
How can they not make this hoody in my size?
Velour, leopard skin, cat ears…
Perfectly cute.

spouse
My heart is currently
torn in two
part of it here
loving my girls
and the other part
is far away
in Iraq.
Far away
from the things
he loves most
in life.
Far away,
from his girls.

Winner
I enter contests
but rarely win.
This time I won.
Three items from the
school raffle.
Blue corn pancake mix (with prickly pear syrup!)
A wooden marble run
and a hand knitted scarf.

I am a winner!
And it feels GOOD.

Estrella Sunrise
Every morning
I look out to
see the Estrella Mountains
looming in the West.
Their jagged peaks
colored pink and purple
with the morning light.

Eggs
Fresh from
a chicken’s
backside.
Some of these
might have even been
found by oldest girl child.
Its nice to know people
with chickens.

Now, what to make?

I need a better bookcase.
These books
live in my bedroom.
But there are
other shelves
in other rooms.
I think its
time for an
upgrade in
bookcases.

Day 133

Desert foil dinners
Fire blazing
in the desert.
Beneath hot coals
foil dinners cook.
Family time
eating,
talking,
together.

big girl's night out
I bought her tickets
to the Lion King,
and we dropped
off the younger
girl with my mom.
She and I spent
the day together
enjoying each other.
It was perfect.
