High Noon , granted another day , a poem comes to mind in reference to my beloved Hill Country once again ! Black coffee with all the plans for Sunday scribbled on the back of Saturdays grocery list ! Vegetable seedlings look very much alive from my vantage point , our crows nest  , the kitchen window ! Occasional visitors can smell fresh vegetables from the top of our garden beds but can't seem to reach them . Cotton-tail rabbits  in the front yard , birdhouse built this Spring , a flurry of activity this morning !  Mother and Father bluebirds , make a "good living" from their perch overlooking the garden , welcome sunlight is finally beginning to peek through the clouds after a late morning shower ! Drowning out the sound of ceiling fans and the clock on the wall with music this hour ! The hours are also numbered for potato bread and blackberry jelly on the kitchen counter ! Thrive on morning routine here in my protected area of the world .. Answering machine takes away the fear of having to answer the land line for some ridiculous reason ! The good Lord made the hand written letter , the Devil invented the telephone ! Another fantasia has put other thoughts on the back burner ,  screaming to be put on paper or recorded in the not so distant future ! Creativity and depression are symbiotic to one another , paper screams for time signatures , first , second and third verses ! The healing gift of songbirds in the trees dueling the albatross diving to its death at sea ! An ocean of memories driven into a rock filled shoreline , oblivious to their ultimate demise ! Blind , reaching for a lover , only to find she's befriended another . A hard , confident look down a familiar passage married with the fear of avalanche on two precarious sides !
