October 7: In the feeder

Pert fledgling sparrow

has no idea

what it's in for this winter.

October 6: Inhale

Still green and leafy

the trees in my backyard

are holding their breath.

October 5: Exhale

Sunset behind Hannaford--

exhalation of light

makes me say "aaah."

October 4: Stonington, Day Three

Barred Island Preserve

 

Only fall's chill

keeps me from rolling in that moss,

swimming at that beach.

October 3: Stonington, Day Two

Every lawn hosts crows.

On a granite fence post

an offering of pears.

October 2: Stonington, Day One

Deer Isle, on which the town of Stonington is found, is one of the granite centers of Maine, with active quarries still cutting monument-quality granite. As we drove into town, we passed a flat-bed truck hauling a massive, multi-tone block of granite, a beautiful hunk of Maine stone.

 

Driving to Stonington--

truck hauls a block of granite

off the island.

October 1: Winter Is Coming

The heat's back on.

We feast on cooking shows

while the cat sleeps and sleeps.
