National Poetry Month 2020: April 28 — flowers in bloom
Flowers — iris, chardonnay, matilija poppies– brighten the day.
Today’s American Sentence is inspired by my time outside — this morning stopping to smell the iris damp with dew, then three hours in the vineyard removing suckers and marveling at the prolific chardonnay vines at Olivelands Vineyard near Santa Paula, and finally pulling weeds at home alongside the matilija poppies I planted over 20 years ago on the hillside.
I was supposed to get a lot of writing done today– I’d planned to get part four of my California to Kilimanjaro series up today — but as you may have noticed, a week ago, I took in three kittens to foster. They may look cute but they need a lot of attention– they needed to be bottle fed every 3-4 hours when we first got them and now they need to be fed every 6 hours — but in a huge win they are starting to feed themselves more and more!
Stay tuned for more Kilimanjaro!
