Images of May

Lacy frill of locust
fragrance from a lilac tree
buds on smokebush linger
oblivious to bird or bee
when startled by a stranger
under the linden: you and me.

My life

I am definitely not in a mood to blog much today unless I rant. So I won't .

Today is my friend's birthday. Mark Neuner is one of those people you meet as a teen, get to know and never forget. Interested in a/v in high school he did photography for the yearbook and raced cars. He also married his sweetheart in spite of health issues. He is still the kind and generous person he was waaaaay back when. Happy 54th, Mark.

The Sabres will play the Senators tomorrow in Buffalo. If they win I can call friends on Monday; if not? Better to wait. At least the Senators showed some class after a Sabre fan got assaulted in Ottawa Wednesday night after the game that Buffalo won 3-2. They have offered free tickets to make amends to Renee Luck who ended up with a cut and swollen face. The National Hockey League seems to be tolerating less violence on and off the ice than in the past. This is a good thing.

I've finished reading the Victorian mystery, Death at Glamis Castle, so I took out The body in the Fjord by Katherine Hall Page and Indigo Dying by Susan Albert Wittig.

So I ate mushrooms with mashed potatoes ... well, I didn't want to aggravate my teeth today, not after yesterday, so I kept to softer foods like the yoghurt I had for breakfast.

No news really. Just another boring day, just like every other day. 70s, clear as a bell and very pleasant.

Was I supposed to notice something? Hmmm. Smell of popcorn glued to yellow cellophane? Fresh mown grass and a flock of black birds? Blue cloudless sky? The sense of too-tired-to-walk-I'll-take-the-bus? How about the yellow hypericum? More are in bloom today. Oh ... and Angelica's radiant face.

Said hello to K.L. Carpenter , Zoe Dawn and have been sending emails to bloggers that have gone missing ... Oh where, oh where have ye gone?
