It was quite the haul.
I found the first mushroom and
my son the other.

The politics of Jesus

Notice that Jesus
rode a donkey, not an elephant,
into and out of his earthly life.

Wayne on Wayne

My wife and I
stayed in a bed and breakfast
in Waynesboro on Wayne St.,
and the owner’s name was Wayne.
I couldn’t, no I wouldn’t make this up.

Four season survival

Woods edge by Bruce Stambaugh
Where field and forest meet.

From the tallest trees
of the interfacing woods,
the red-tailed hawk gleans
the pasture, grain and hay fields,
fallow, fertile, emerging, golden,
winter, spring, summer and fall.
