8 January
in the corner of the living room
scented geranium
on a small round table
in the early morning sunlight
Shining through the branches of a big old pine tree
When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night. This isn’t the greatest picture of her...I think I caught her in mid-chew. Sunday I met with both of my daughters and my grandchildren. We were the only ones in the pizza place and felt comfortable taking our masks off while we ate. It was the first time we’ve all been together in such a very long time. It brought me to tears. I rise before the sun most mornings and see it coming up over the neighboring houses like ribbons of orange and indigo light. One morning this week I happened to glance up and see the crescent moon setting behind the big, old pine while the sky was

Oh my is this a plant you couldn't leave outside to die? And it will reward you with its weak breath and anemic growth? I too have such a one in my dining room window. And I love it's tiny flowers. We saved each other through this frigid winter
ReplyDeleteNice post again
Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can picture the serenity of the scene you describe. Early morning is my favorite time. I love your image. We have a zonal geranium that we brought in for the winter. There's not enough winter light for it to bloom, but I'm enjoying the "aliveness" of it, nevertheless. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving kind words behind. It brought me to your lovely blog. So very peaceful here. It looks like you live in a beautiful place. Water always soothes my spirit. xo ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the green! I've been debating the purchase of a plant or two - seems odd given how frigid it is outside....but seeing this I'm thinking YES! The added green inside would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the watercolor look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy piece; love the editing on this shot....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous watercolor! Can't wait until I have scented geraniums in the garden again! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
