Aging through neglect
Beauty littered with death
Crumbling, ancient art

(I was going for a haiku but didn't want to force 7 syllables in the middle line that resonated with me so well as it was)

With thanks to my beloved sister, Kier McLeod for letting me explore and take pictures in the ancient church building her congregation rents.

It was hard waiting to share these lovely friends, but they are now safely arrived at their new home. The hound dog is named Rover, the giraffe's name is still under discussion.

Photos were taken at the Frank Street Bee & Butterfly Garden. Details about the crochet projects can be found on my website.

Green leaves bud new life
Things will never stay that way
Winter's death is come

Skunks rooting for grubs
Full moon waxes nocturnal
Fox kits play freely

Inspired by the sounds and sights of growing up in the country

Saliva drip drips
From the overheated dog
The car, a prison

(The dog in the photo was a rescue dog I fostered for a short while. He still holds a piece of my heart)

As a person with cPTSD, Agoraphobia, and GAD, going out can be incredibly difficult. I was done with today before finding out my little one is sick so I'm taking on care early. I put on some music by my favorite artist (Smash Into Pieces), hid inside a hoodie, and got it done.
Sometimes the simplest tasks require the most strength. I've learned to accept that. As long as the essentials get done, the rest will happen when when they can.

A relentless heat
Cool breeze offers no relief
Urban summer day

I loathe mosquitos
Watching my Venus Fly Trap
Consume them is bliss
