Silver Snapshots from Mary's Window

Rolling Hills

A hillside Orchard

Apple and Peach Trees

above Creme de menthe' green

The fruit trees reside in perfection

A natural lattice, in zig zag patterns

Carefree

Children at play

Along the Orchard's steep floor

Natural 'dips'; perfectly

aligned to collect rain water

Like the 'dips' of cool water

my Grandfather drank from

the Ladle he kept hanging

next to the sink on the

back porch

A FIXTURE, A CONSTELLATION

Just like the Big Dipper and Little Dipper

Constellations my Father pointed out to me

in the night sky.
