Porch Swing & Edward Tulane

During the rainstorm
Finished story about love
All our hearts open

The "double awesome"
Meaning better than awesome.
Sometimes you need it!

Biking the Capital Trail

Kids are great troopers.
Even six-year-old did it.
Sixteen mile strong!


By Ainsley with last line contribution from Avery

After the Rain

Window pane blue sky
Happy anticipation:
Bike ride here we come.

Flood Wall/Canal Walk Geocache

Hunting. Seeking. Found!
Fourth try; Geocache success.
Mom is good luck charm.

Ridiculousness of Dad

Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh
Dad's sound effects of ketchup
Usual antics!

Flowers

Flowers everywhere
They have beautiful blossoms
Lots of different kinds


By Ainsley McKay

Dinner in the park

Screw tops with take-out
Flowering tree snowing blooms
Poses, chase and grins

daughter turning ten
I blinked and she'd grown a foot
not ready for teens

smiling little boy
proud to show off what is gone
hole where tooth once was

a golden eagle
sent a message to make
me one of her own

by Louren Reed

Park day

Waves of many friends
Scooters, sand; climbing, chatting
Neighborhood park day.

Fox Farms

Swinging black rail gate
Raised beds divided as plots
School kids planting soon
