the peaceful feeling of being all alone in the garden this morning,
flickers and goldfinches, lady bugs, and busy bees,
a nap in the early afternoon, a text message from a friend,
which made me feel blessed, tacos for dinner with hard shells,
(my favorite, he likes the soft shells) the way we laughed
at the way the dog was sitting as he watched us eat,
boats on the lake, and felling like spring is really here.
