frustrated

time ticking away
the race days coming closer
but I've stopped moving

cross stitch

counting the symbols
first one half, then the other
two-sided stitches

new year, fresh start

Let's try this again --
can I keep up the routine?
Hope springs eternal.

Cruella

desiccated husk
a tragic botox victim
too many facelifts

modfather

Cats or Paul Weller
my husband's tax day surprise
he made the right choice

jogging commute

unable to breathe
while running on the bike path
a too-tight backpack

Easter

kittens, not bunnies
a basket full of candy
and household projects

kittycam

the camera's weight
makes Kiki seem unhappy
is the art worth it?

hollow book

blade slices paper
carving out a hidden space
slowly, carefully

tedium

feels like a Monday
but luckily it's Thursday
low spirits at work

happy birthday Rebecca!

two girls at the spa
exfoliation heaven
lovely, silky skin

sunshine... and a treadmill

despite the sun I
ran indoors on the treadmill
causing it to rain

Amazing Grace

bus tunnel busker
plays his flute but always stops
to say "Good morning"

100th day of the year

sunshiny sunday
a good long run this morning
and cupcakes for lunch
