the cherry tree sheds
The sky was an unusual color this past weekend.

I'm going to play the cancer card to tell a story.

Most folks don...

I've never been much for marigolds. Maybe it was the fact they often resemble potted plants strewn about the place, and seldom big clumps that look natural.

Mixing colors on the shirt

My initial pronunciation, "Less girls"
Got back from San Diego on Monday.
Stayed an extra day because it was so darn lovely.
