coming alone

driving along, i spot a flock of finches. perched on power lines on both sides of the road leading up to my house. how funny it looks. like they are assembling and watching a parade. a local celebration that i am hosting. or maybe they are just acknowledging my return. letting me know that there is always love and comfort at the sanctuary i call home.

on my patio
the chalk drawings
my nieces drew
