Margaret,
Golden hours indeed, and a beautiful image.
Marsha
I spent most of yesterday with my grandson who just turned
four-years-old.
He loves me and, on such a rainy day, I received the bruises to prove it.
beautiful image.
this sums up my day...
golden hours we lie
side by side, the cat and I
weightless and drifting with
the dust.
I stir, she stirs.
