It’s been a busy weekend. Daughter came up from southern Oregon to work on the front yard with me. Yesterday we worked for over six hours in the yard.
One thing a month long challenge is teaching me is discipline in writing. I really wanted to get yesterday and today’s blog posts lined up. And I didn’t. It’s something I worked on during the SOLSC15 March challenge. Have those posts in queue.
Today, in the backyard, I noticed the elliptical leaves of the hosta.
Today’s word: ELLIPTICAL
hosta plant
unfurls new leaves
we travel elliptical paths

Elliptical Rainbow Mama
Every year this day
rolls around.
We turn the eggs gently
in their baths of color
but like Mama,
heavier at the bottom,
they spill off the spoon
and splash rainbows
on the gray newspaper.

SCIENCE LESSON
Elliptical galaxies are like great-grandparents.
They might be nearing the end of their evolution
Yet each one has so much to teach us –
If we pay attention.

I thought about elliptical galaxies as a topic. I’m glad you wrote this
Beautiful, Jone!
