Decades ago, a playhouse for her children
but too much window glass for their play
by the fence it stands now, forlorn, lost;
neighbors' horses seem amused
This
image was probably taken about 2010, when the playhouse had been mostly
unused for almost two decades. The shade tree, a Douglas fir, is
already looking a little stressed, perhaps partly because the playhouse
was built so near it when it was a small sapling.
I move my table to read sutras by moonlight
I pick wildflowers to fill my altar vase
