I am grateful for the sun
I am grateful for the balmy
winter weather
here in vacaville
I am in the yard again
raking leaves left over from the fall
grieving over plants who didn’t make it
through the extreme rain
making plans for new plants
sowing wildflower seeds
my granddaughter sent me
for Christmas
from Seattle
where there is little sun
and lots of rain
she loves the weather
she grew up in it
she has learned to live with it
walking in the rain
is one of her favorite
exercises.
I am grateful for the sun
believe me
I am worried about extreme weather
in the northeast
we have family there
but I know
our turn will come
again
in the form of flood
or fire
or more likely
drought
