Four girls

maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles

and milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were

and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles

and may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone

for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.

Berry sweet

Strawberry season. We picked and ate and made shortcake.

By the sea

We spent last week on the Rhode Island seashore. A week at the beach is good for the soul.

Round town

Good day. Sunshine.

Round the garden

Last week was rainy and gloomy. Not so good for the humans, but our plants couldn't be happier.

Maypole

Ribbons, pearl and purple, dangle from the maypole down to the pale hands of children, who pull them, giggling.
