Poetry Friday, Week 34: End of Summer and The Sealey Project Wrap-Up

8/31/2023

Poetry Friday with at Ramona at Pleasures From the Page. She has had quite the summer with moving!
Today, I share a photo and haiku that I posted this week because it seems to capture the end of August and beginning of September. The photo was taken last Sunday when I was at the Portland Japanese Garden.

Poetry Friday, Week 28: Thinking about the Moon Landing, 54 Years Later

7/21/2023

Margaret at Reflections on the Teche is hosting and has an ode to strawberry jam and reflects on the kindness of friends.
Yesterday was the 54th anniversary of the first lunar landing. I was sixteen and in France. I pulled out the French papers yesterday, photographed them and that was as far it got as I had lunch with a friend to celebrate our both in Club 70 (she joined in June).
