One

One baby,

only one.

She knows the names

she wants for a son.

Next visit

we will know

if boy or girls names

are the way to go.

Blue and yellow,

or a pink.

I'm knitting both.

What do you think?

Happy Halloween

Forever Young

Beginning and End

One more week until

we find out if it's twins or not,

the beginning.

One more week until

my daughter gets her braces off,

the end.

The Never Ending Edge

The never ending edge,

or so it seems,

1,216 stitches.

Knit two together, slip it back.

Knit two together, slip it back.

Again, and again.

The last row was two days of patient work.

Until finally

I'm finished,

but not yet.

Weave in the beginnings

and the ends of yarn,

or all that work could fall apart.

Pictures from His Truck

A Utah mountain sunset,

North Carolina landscape,

Minnesota corn field, and

field of California grapes.

Painting pictures of places I've never been

texted to me by my daughter's new husband.

Traveling, driving his great big semi-truck,

in the sun, and in the rain, and through the muck,

texting us pictures of the places he's been

until his travels bring him back home again.

The Park Today

After telling me that I could sit and watch her play,

that she would run around where I could see,

convincing me to take her to the park today,

she wanted me to help her swing. “Oma, push me.”

Even though I was standing in the sun,

even though the cool morning air turned hot,

even though she did not play around and run,

at the park this morning, we both had fun, a whole lot.
