"Ananas comosus"
Teableau for 07/10/25
The pineapple is widely considered to be a symbol of good luck. I think it must be true, because anyone who gets to eat a pineapple is, indeed, a fortunate soul.

Oh Turtle, turtle...
Seen in profile,
Little dry smile,
Such ancient wisdom
Took a while

"Granny's Garden"
Teableau for 07/02/25
For personal reasons, the first week in July always brings nostalgia, which I experience as a sweet melancholy. This year there is far more melancholia than sweetness, but here is some of the latter.

"Confetti"
Teableau for 06/26/25
Random bits of color,
Swatch, spot, and streak,
In cloth, rock, and seaglass;
It's rainbows I seek.

"Cottage Industry"
Teableau for 06/25/25
Victorian Era plate, 1940s Homer Laughlin cup, midcentury Otagiri cottage. Filaments connecting us to the past, which is, itself, but a figment.

"Soul Abides"
Teableau 06/19/25
The precious soul,
Undaunted
-Though across continents dragged-
Across centuries glides,
Imbued with spirit,
Fortified,
The precious Soul
Does yet
Abide

"Water World"
Teableau 06/18/25
A dear friend made that amazing paper flower; another dear friend gave me the china. I made the cozy & the picture magnet. The sea made the shell. The remaining items came from thrift shops. Life can be so good.

The fruits of summer are ripening. My wild strawberries, warm from the sun, bursting with sweetness; the blackberries forming, salmonberries blonding, thimbleberries broadening, blueberries getting heavy on their branches....

Teableau for 06/03/25
The gorgeous Fenton carnival glass bunny was someone's discard because its upright ear got sheared off in a fall. I used a glass file to smooth the razor- sharp edge, and don't mind at all that it only has one ear remaining.

Of bagged teas, Brewix is still my favorite Peach black tea, but Stash is quite nice.
