Day 5 NaPoWriMo 2022

Today was the day to go out and check on the two cats. Did a couple errands on the way and grocery shopped on the way back. Admired the single species crocus in bloom in the front yard and all the daffodils who are some days away from blossoming. The deer have eaten the hostas level with the ground.

The cats were especially glad to see me because I came bearing a new bag of cat food.

Tonight watched the rest of Ken Burns’ documentary on Benjamin Franklin. Last night I was very distracted by the music, tonight the individual tunes didn’t insist I figure out what they were. All in all very interesting – many sides of Franklin I’d never heard of and I was surprised by the difference in his age against his fellows like Adams and Washington et al.

turned the corner and
there I was, just sitting, and
thinking and being

down the road a ways
paused to let reality
cut me off again

finally got home
put away the shopping
for another week

alt reality
two cats welcoming me home
bee line to food bowls

Some flowers for Mom from my shopping today:
