working on an art project
quiet
early morning
soft music
warm coffee
colors
paper
scissors
glue
feathers
jewels
stickers
words
ideas
glitter
and
somehow
just a dash of
glitter in my coffee.
mg reads the paper
and has stopped noticing
when pieces
are cut out of a page
and
tucked away
waiting to be used
for my art collage projects.
he just reads around them
without questioning
what was there
and why
it’s no longer there
and
it’s clear
that
we have
a real easy
comfort level
between us.

if it’s the right chair, it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable in it. – robert de niro
this is certainly
the gift that just keeps on giving.
thanks so much for
the ceramic cowgirl boot vase.
i have never owned one,
let alone know how much i needed one.
it truly has found its place
in my cottage
this holiday season,
mini static-ridden styrofoam balls and all.
it will soon hold a place of honor
as the centerpiece
at our upcoming
badass bookclub brunch and board meeting.
after that,
who knows
where it may go?
this boot is made for walkin’.
fear not, there are onesies for ponies too
parts of the united states and the united kingdom might be experiencing unseasonably warm weather but that doesn’t mean winter isn’t coming. and of course, ponies get cold too. that’s why the fun-sized shetland pony named daffy was given his own fuzzy onesie to wear. dubbed a “foursie,” the festive red pajamas fit over all four of the pony’s legs. the red onesie even comes with a hood to keep the pony’s little noggin warm. it was created by ascot racecourse to celebrate ascot’s christmas racing weekend.
“in winter i always worry about daffy getting chilly as he likes to spend so much time out of his stable,” owner and animal trainer jackie rowberry said in a press release. “i love the fact that ascot has created a special foursie for daffy so that he can get into the christmas spirit. he’s loved all the attention and is quite the envy among his stable buddies!”

just wondered
not judging
why the guy
working out
next to me today
was wearing
a
buttoned-up
button-down
dress shirt
tucked into
belted dress pants?
maybe a sudden inspiration on his way home from work?
maybe in case he runs into the boss?
maybe told someone he was going somewhere else?
maybe dressing to impress?
maybe i have no idea
though
it is one of
life’s interesting little
unsolved mysteries.
