#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Milkweed in bloom
I have such a luxurious milkweed garden and now it’s in bloom. I woke at 5 a.m. Too early! Slept ‘til 6, but still too short a night. Wave’s mom gives him breakfast. I get my poem sent off. Wave wants to go turtle hunting before school, and we do, but no turtles this morning. Grass is damp. Sun is not out. Flowers in bloom. We have a good time anyway. Then I get for my swim under cloudy skies, home to workshop. Success! Revision success. I’m feeling so grateful I was able to craft into this new section of my manuscript. Then I have a break in the afternoon, much much needed. I get a good rest. Frank gives me a surprise: he has had a picture of me he took at the Grand Canyon last fall framed for my office! I love it. Very sweet. I make meatballs for Frank and Wave. I tweak my poems for tomorrow. Workshop again tonight and again successful feedback. I worked in the garden, too, weeding and trimming. A lovely day. A happy day.
