This Blog Is Moving!

My blog has migrated from Blogger to my website, here. (http://www.kristenlindquist.com/blog/)

There will be a few days' hiatus while I smooth over the transition, figure out how to post to the new site, migrate the new blog site to my posting app, etc. I hope you'll stick with me!

June 28: Cherries

alone in the kitchen

reading haiku

over a bowl of cherries

June 27: Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon

cutting the peonies

before a rainstorm

June 26: Cathedral Woods

Cathedral Woods
a conclave of doves
rises from the trail

June 25: Trail

after the rain
clouds of tiny moths
rise from the trail

June 24: Cathedral Woods

Cathedral Woods

nothing in my head

but the names of birds

June 23: Cathedral Woods

the wren’s song 

unfurled above twinflowers

fairy houses

June 22: Sunset

summer solstice

silhouettes of gulls 

fly into the sunset

June 21: Solstice

summer solstice

sharing my strawberries

with a catbird

June 20: Owl

summer solstice
the long silence
after the owl calls

June 19: Up

finally looking up 

waxing half moon

soaring hawk

June 18: Back porch

rotting porch rail

again the rhododendron 

in full bloom

June 17: Nesting

nesting season

both catbirds

scolding the cat

June 16: Farmer’s Market

farmer’s market

she praises

last night’s crescent moon

June 15: June roses

almost Midsummer

mooning over roses

at the plant nursery

June 14: Candlelight

candlelit dinner

the doe’s eyes shining

in the headlights

June 13: Something in the air

chorus of wind chimes

weight of the rain 

that will fall tonight

June 12: Gift

morning coffee

the wind has strewn 

heart-shaped petals

June 11: Nesting

catbirds nest-making

in the sunny old garden

everything’s ok

June 10: House Finch

what am I

compared to this finch

her perfect grey bill

June 9: Saturday night

Saturday night 

watching together 

the slow fade to dark

June 8: Clematis

purple clematis

finally tall enough

to train the vines

June 7: Chill

climate change

unseasonably cold night

in an empty bed

June 6: Poppies

overcast afternoon

the urge to pick

my neighbor’s orange poppies

June 5: Phoebe

neighborhood

phoebe’s regular perch

on our lawn chair

June 4: Farmstand

farmstand sign:

fiddleheads, tick repellent

early strawberries

June 3: Weeding

weeding the garden

which flowers live

and which die

June 2: Catbird seat

freedom of choice

sitting on the porch

to listen to the catbird

June 1: Double feature

1

that time again

purple irises

along the old white shed

2

that time again

I’d forgotten 

there were all these flowers
