     Rain and thunderstorms were in Friday’s forecast. A few polka-dots fell on deck, soon vanished. Sky blue. No fog. No clouds. Blue Jay squawking. Hidden garden keeping. Crickets. Sun, well past the angle for casting tree shadows on green stream. Something just thumped the window. Curtains closed I didn’t see. Lingering ginger tea peppery. Two bats late evening as I watched the sky.

 

Learn the shape, you’ll recognize the thing.
