Buggy Morning

As I walked this morning
I was aware of all the bugs.

I watched the butterflies.

Seeing the Damsel resting was a treat.

I heard the locust singing.

The bees pay no attention to me.

7am

The humidity was already 48%
when I put my socks and shoes on.



I walked in my neighborhood.

The walnuts are ripening.

Today the Buckeyes were basking
in the cul-de-sacs.

I see feathers every morning.
I only walked half an hour.

I can walk again after sunset.

My word today is sensible.

Hot

I walked before the heat of the morning.
I walked while the dew still clung to the grass.



On the parkway wildflowers are in bloom.

The Cabbage Whites were flying.

A Tawny Emperor walked with me.

It is hot.
I drank lots of water.

I am thinking about friendship.
I started a journal.

A walk in the woods

My husband and I
walked in the woods this morning.

It was nice to see the Red-Spotted Purple.

In a clearing we saw a Spicebush Swallowtail.

There are many different types of Bluets, a Damselfly.

Walking together, hunting butterflies and dragonflies, is perfect companionship.
We walked for two hours.
I was hot and thirsty when we returned to our car.
We saw an Indigo Bunting too.

Day of Beauty

Today I leave early for a day of beauty.
I am going to a Day Spa.

Deb @ Posted From Home
told me about "Birds Egg Feather Nest".
I have enjoyed this book so very much that I ordered
Maryjo Koch's other books.

"Flight Plans" came the other day.
It tucks nicely into my bag.

A different sort of meditation.
A different sort of morning walk.
Insight is the best sight.
Thank you Deb.

Hazy Morning

Another ozone alert day.
Another day without rain.
I walked early.


The grass was heavy with dew.
The sun burned through the haze.
The birds were quiet.

The Poplar trees are starting to turn.
Every now and again a leaf falls to the ground.
It seems early.

As I walked this morning I gave thanks for you.
You, who walk with me each day.
You, whom I call my friends.

Nameste.

Awake

I slept last night,
all night with out awakening.
I felt rejuvenated when I awoke.

I showered and dressed before I fed the birds.
I walked with wet hair and a quick pace.
I walked for an hour.

All along my route I saw Tawny Emperors.
They were sunning in the grasses, on the rocks and in the gravel.
They too awoke.
