harmony
presided throughout
house and garden

Away
in the woods
in the quiet and calm
carry on, carry on
At The Sunflower House
every size and kind
of sunflower
under the sun
Field Colleague
Savoring The Sunshine
summer has not yet
opened the gate
to fall
Flower Farm
bees and butterflies
work the fields
beauty is the harvest
Boarded Up
what mysteries
and whose histories
are stored inside?
Morning At The Farm
first light caresses
the corn, flowers and barn
blessings of the new day
How The House Homesteads
the garden feeding us
laundry on the line
so many kinds of shelter
Wander
down by the vernal pool
where the big mushrooms
grow
Storm Window
mountains of snow
gather on each pane
showing us this storm’s terrain
Keeping Company
the garden shed
and branch bench
share the wait for spring
Three Birch By The Barn Door
these friends
experience, strength and hope
my life’s companions
Like A Tattered Flag
the barn endured
dutifully
despite the wear
Hearing The Unsaid
the silence
of cold and snow
told us what we needed to know
They Dwell Together
length of birch
layers of brick
swirling of snow
The Farm
in the cradle
of the mountains
we grow
The Haven Of Barns
come winter
they will encompass
my world
Susan Stayed Late
her smiling eyes
outside the window
still
Beneath The Wise Gaze Of The Pines By The Barn
during shorter days
amidst longer shadows
we ready for winter
