     Soleil lights the sky, shines through blinds. Zayne jumps, runs toward the gate after a touch from water washing the feet of berry bushes. Raspberries, red, black, plump fall into my hand, I place them without ceremony into a teacup (more like a bowl I need to hold with two hands).

     Breyers vanilla ice cream last night; discovered on refrigerator shelf. No mosquitoes, no deer flies communed with us this morning. A Red-eyed Vireo conversed with a crow joined just before we came inside by an American Goldfinch and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

 

If I could sing, I’d sing the song of Tuesday morning.
