It’s cool out tonight —
more like autumn than summer —
but I won’t complain.

Flipping through photos
from the last two weeks–I’ve been
living in a dream.

A freedive down to
burrowing sea cucumbers
and purple sea stars.

Red, yellow, orange heads
surround me — I dig and pull.
Zinnias = happy.

Two racoons passed by
my kitchen window — almost
dropped my coffee cup.

Fan whirs in an arc —
blows cool breeze my way in fits
and starts. I like it.

Birds act as guides for
finding whales–they wait above
for leftover fish.

Humidity broke —
lovely day to read a book
sitting on the porch.

Jack will return home
this evening — choir tour over —
goodbye to Europe.

Central soccer girls
lost the big game yesterday —
it was very sad.
