I took a friend’s advice. Instead of walking all the way home from Copley Square, I walked half way and this is what I saw.

I must say, I’ve had a good year with gardening in so many unexpected ways. Please enjoy a new poem, hot off the press, published in Lyrical Somerville: Near the Window.

A very young friend to whom I send postcards recently gave me a gift in return.

Flowers from her first garden.

A beautiful sight in the morning light.



Thanks, Vanessa. 😉

One can of sardines, drained, placed on a small plate, topped with fresh cut onions and herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of black pepper. That’s all. Okay, okay … there was some homemade mayonnaise on the side along with some toasted bread. An impromptu dinner after being too lazy to go to the store. 😉
