May 14: In Freedom

We were fortunate enough to eat out tonight at The Lost Kitchen, in a restored mill in Freedom. The historic, countryside setting, alongside the mill falls, enhanced a wonderful, locally sourced, creative spring dining experience. We left three-and-a-half hours later, sated, under a hazy, waxing moon in conjunction with Jupiter, the voices of frogs mingling with the sound of rushing water.
 
an exquisite meal
choruses of spring peepers
escort our drive home

May 13: Sprung

First batch of fiddleheads.
He goes fishing in the rain
before dinner.

May 12: In the window

Stained glass birds spinning
on one side, goldfinch feeding
on the other.

May 11: Loss

Another friend gone.
The oblivious trees
and their garish leaf buds.

May 10: Warmer outside than in

Spring cleaning--
washing the windows
before the wasps settle.

May 9: Where are the swallows?

Swarmed by blackflies
while picking violets
I welcome the northeast wind.

May 8: Mindful

Here, here sings the titmouse
in cadence with the rain,
and we are. Right here.
