Well they had to put an extra stone curb on top of the regular cement one, yes? This was Malcolm’s domain; it wouldn’t do to upset the cat. Because once upon a time…

Eyes closed, she tips her chin upward to catch the sun’s soothing caress; this-get-away-from-cruel-winter vacation had been a long time coming, precious personal leave hours hoarded and approved by her boss long in advance. Continue reading
Every morning’s a wakeup call
My wakeup call to get busy and go
Bust out the coffee, bounce off the walls

Banks of roses nod and sing their fragrant earth song
Petrichor retreats under rosy rising sun
Sky yawns and stretches, a shell of robin’s egg blue Continue reading

The morning started well enough, cool with birdsong, cat heavier than the wool blanket that marks this transition into true Autumn. Side sleeper me, Rollo’s wedged his backside against my belly, so committed to morning dreams, he doesn’t waken immediately, even when I roll onto my back. No purring yet. That’s fine.
