Kitchen Reveal
From Talavera pottery to still life with green strainer, the photos below depict the countertops, cupboards and drawers of my kitchen—except for the Pre-Columbian large platter that hangs outside on the wall of my front patio.

Glass En Masse
It’s sometimes seen as goblets stored upon a shelf
where you can either look right through or stare back at yourself.
In a glass of tea leaves, your future may be spoken,
but its message like its holder may slash us when it’s broken.
It is a perfect metaphor of all that we may be––
on one hand pure distraction, on the other help us see.
Whether it’s a looking glass or one you see right through,
The glass you stand in front of mostly tells us about you.
Three hours at the eye doctor’s and $900 later, I have a new pair of progressive lens eyeglasses ordered so no more jiggling two pairs of glasses not to mention having to locate them twenty times a day. This was the cute lady in the frame fitting room modeling a pair of glasses ordered by a man who insisted he wanted rose colored lenses. It was special order requiring much work on their part and of course when they arrived he took one look and said, “They’re pink!” The ladies said yes, that is what rose was and that was why they’d tried so hard to dissuade him from them. Yes. They’re going back to be redyed. And yes, they forgave him. They looked great on her so I made her try them on. Actually, I really liked them on me, too, but my budget is shot for the time being. My next glasses will come from China, but progressives call out for the human touch. Two more days to go before heading northwards.
