It’s early this morning. Jeb is with his dad and the neighbors are out of town. Had me half-dressed in the garden at sunrise, cup of coffee and camera in hand.
First Light
Tree of Life
there was just this blank wall
88″ x 100″ of white space
track lighting installed
and aimed
at nothing
now
the tree of life
I hold the ladder
while he hangs it
then he holds the ladder
and I adjust the light
no A-frame
just straight up
braced by his body
circus-style
“ok, I’m going up one more rung”
“uh-huh”
“you got me?”
“yes”
purple gold and blue
peacocks flowers and fruit
illumined
all swirling
flourishing
adorning
our living room
Following the Flower Thread
The Bohemian strings flowers from the garden to make marigold leis.
