Weeds vs Wildflowers

Weeds vs Wildflowers

my mind wondering
why are dandelions weeds
not wildflowers?

As a boy, I loved dandelions. As an adult, I wonder why they’re so maligned. What do you think?

The First Day Of Autumn

grey skies resisting sunlight

grace of rain soaked leaves

It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.

As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring

Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters

Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.

Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.

The air quality in Seattle is supposed to improve dramatically over the next day. And rain is in the forecast both today and tomorrow. Relief approaches!
