Today we attempted to skip the toddler’s nap so he wouldn’t stay up so late…
So much for that idea!

Pale Sky Breakfast Blues
It is early.
The sky stretches above the mountains
–pale, white, untouched–
a question unanswered:
What will we make of today?
It is too early for thoughts.
The sun itself has barely opened its eyes.
Only the toddler is noisy and cheerful
as he munches the insisted-upon breakfast:
peanut butter sandwiches at the break of dawn.”Num!”
Sleepy Cats in Sunshine
Today as amber warmth pours through
the stained glass windows
like honey on our souls,
we linger like sleepy cats
in sunshine,
praying peacefully.
If you listen quietly
you can hear our souls purr.
Time change
When I wake up
The lights are still twinkling
On the ski hill
And it’s just light enough
To see the snow-dusted mountains
Against the pale blue sky.
The kids are up already
Regardless of the time change,
Reading Barefoot Books
To their baby brother on the couch.
“Ooooh, aaaah, gawaaa!” He solemnly proclaims.
“He’s so talky!” says his big sister.
We all know he comes by it honestly.
It’s gonna be another big day of stories and chatter….
I boil water for coffee while the baby sings.
Like father, like son…
Sleepy, yes, but also wonderful, adorable, unique, and all mine! Lucky me! ☺️
