9 march

silver maples grew in rows outside and the leaves blew in the wind

catching the light here and there

she stood in the sunny kitchen window watching them.

She was wearing the hand me down cotton dress her sister had worn last summer but 

it was jelly stained now from the doughnuts they had baked.

Who does that anyway? Wasn't there a freakin' doughnut shop on every corner

around here?

Lately she had been thinking about what a long, strange trip it had all been...


but sometimes in life you've got to celebrate the misses.

  5. Baking your own doughnuts could be nuts but it could also be a sweet blessing..
