Large Print Poems (August 2020 – the present) is a site that may be useful to some readers. Sometimes I reprint a poem from one of my sites there in large print.

Small ways now – with blogs, and sharing my poems.
We donated many copies of Quiet Christmas Poetry. The poems can be read for free at the site.

morning stillness
forget-me-nots and
daylily plants grow
ferns grow
in the spring garden
bird songs
small plants
in the May garden
hyacinths
small flowers
close to the ground
many ways to grow
gifts of beauty
and simplicity
flowers
reading poems
and writing too
the seasons
always new
Over the years, we have enjoyed many good meals at restaurants in our area. Grateful for all. And I like being home now, and seeing the seasons in the yard when we share meals. Sometimes we bring good meals home from local places. I worked at a bakery in high school, and a restaurant in college. And I enjoyed shopping for my mother and preparing meals at her home during what I call “the caregiving years.”
And I will be watching for butterflies and bees in our gardens.
