did you even know this pond existed--

we found this pondy place one afternoon due to a wrong turn; it was in a place called a 'public area'and the creatures in the half-iced pond were singing and we were picnicking

bus & poem & drew with chalk [one day over spring break '10]

hey one day i managed to drag my entire apparatus (typewriter, bag of unfinished thready gifts i'm making for friends whose birthdays are now rapidly disappearing into the distant past, guitar, laptop, a beer, my small square notebook of lists) out to our little platform backporch and write a list and work on poems and this happened to be the same day that finn was in love with his new bus (buss buss bus!!) as well as the day we drew happily on the chalkboard together (whales & people & rounds & lines for rain)

murk murk (light went roundly roundly)

last day of spring break and what did we see? murk murk water on stone; light flashing its pretty bones; creek creek playing with light; clear running spring waters--

thaw of earth; mud & ice; finnegan-again

more of the great thaw; some winter goldened cornstalks; the ghost of a snowman

the great thaw

moon morning

these are pictures of the moon in the morning; i'm talking 6 am here. finn woke us up this particular morning standing on our faces and pointing out the window saying moon! moon! moooooooo! and thus, these photos came into being--first of the moon, then of the sunrise through our neighbor's yard, but of course also there's finn's favorite morning activity, always trying to read gogol or kirkegaard and dismantle his papa's book shelf. . .
