Spring Impressions
Early Morning Avian Symphony
Little fluttering sounds
Beckoning the Day
Later, a Road Trip thru
Brilliant colored countryside
citron Forsythia in full glory —
Pale pink Dogwood in stark
contrast — milk white cherry
Blossoms — beautiful and
refreshing
One loses concentration
1/14/2024
Flower stalls dot the side
roads — impatience, coral and white geraniums,
gerber daises —
Hard to believe that Trump
still causes anguish to so many —
Shaky economy,
Tornadoes, global warming,
Toxic fumes from derailed
train cars —
Returning home —
Six mallards resting on
freshly mown lawn,
circling each other, as if in a
Ritual Mating Dance
All is well.

As an avid cyclist, I must call out another glaring example of favoritism toward wealthy donors at the expense of the Southampton Village community. Sheila Peiffer, a member of the environmental committee, recently raised a critical question to one of...
