16 june
it's been gray all the day long
murky and overcast
mist falling between showers
a kind of a soft ocean breeze shuffling the leaves
and filling the air with cool salty wetness
she made a quiche in the morning
because there were so much milk in the house
and half a bag of shredded Swiss cheese
a few leftover tidbits of vegetables
~
in the early afternoon she made a pot of tea
there was nothing like tea on a cool misty day
sipping it as she worked
she made a corn chowder
in the early afternoon she made a pot of tea
there was nothing like tea on a cool misty day
sipping it as she worked
she made a corn chowder
to pack for lunches in leftover yoghurt containers.

the sparrows had chattered amongst one another all day at the feeders
purple finches lighting on the porch balusters
singing to the earth a new song
cardinals cheerfully chirping end of day
it was getting on evening now
she stood at the window in the dining room
she stood at the window in the dining room
conversing with Joe about what their days had held,
what tomorrow might hold,
watching the night and a dusky fog
settling softly over their rather tiny island
Everyday objects make beautiful photos and images for poetry.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfectly beautiful productive day. Perfect. Hug B
ReplyDeleteI am a coffee person myself, but! I do enjoy tea as well, and I think tea makes everything better!
ReplyDeleteI would like a bite of the quiche :D

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful words and peaceful pictures, dear one. Thank you so much for sharing with Roses of Inspiration. Hugs and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteA cup of tea in that lovely teacup sounds wonderful with some quiche; love quiche! We don't have cardinals here unfortunately. Maybe someday they will find their way to our little island. Thanks for joining me for tea and enjoy your week.

This was lovely to read - calm, peaceful, as the grey mist from the ocean washed over me......
ReplyDeleteVery sweet post
ReplyDeleteOh, such a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteYes! Tea is perfect for this kind of day, be it the beach or anywhere else. And does it get any better than corn chowder? Only if it's clam chowder.
ReplyDeleteLovely! There's nothing better than a cup of tea to lift the spirits during rainy, gloomy days.
