leaning on a box
in my cluttered breezeway
my father’s spade pants,
grip worn smooth, tail twitching,
eager for his master
My father’s spade

This time of year…I like how the “cluttered breezeway” evokes wind and the eagerness to work, clear out.

And here I thought I’d probably missed gobs of your work by going missing all summer…

Yes. I have taken a little break from the blog. I am glad we happened to break at the same time. Just needed some time to pull back and gain perspective. Did you have a good summer?

I think summer’s a good time for a break…so much going on away from the computer! Plenty to process and write now that the days are winding in. How was your summer? Congrats on your published pieces!

Thanks for asking and for your encouragement. Summer was good — a full house and me trying to keep work in its place. You?
