December 2: Amaryllis

amaryllis bulbs

knowing I’ll need flowers

in four to six weeks

December 1: Old cat

old cat

ignoring the ornaments

to sleep by the heat

November 30: Cardinals

pair of cardinals

decorating

the Christmas tree

November 29: Sunset

magenta sky

an intense conversation

flares up

November 28: Clock

grandfather clock

chiming the hours

of my childhood

November 27: Thaw

brief thaw

chickadees trying out

spring love songs

November 26: Displacement

relocating spiders

to make room

for the Christmas tree

November 25: Christmas lights

November rain

plugging in the Christmas lights

before breakfast

November 24: Mt. Battie

snowy mountain trail

my only companions

fly away

November 23: Tracks

long shadows

crossing the path

of last night’s deer

November 22: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

feeding the birds

before breakfast
