Checking Bluebird Boxes in July

Blue sky, warm day, wildflowers waving in the breeze

Woke up to a call for water

Sounds of my baby boy getting sick

Sleeping child on the pillow arms around his head

Dark room

Summer days

Blue sky, white clouds building

Canola fields of yellow

Typing on my phone in a dentist office

Checking bluebird boxes

Parade morning

Sunny day

10 white eggs!

Remembering drug names,

Generic and brand, what does the doctor use, don’t appear foolish

messing up, what am I messing up

How can he suffer this much! This young!

Four dead chicks, throw them away

Canola fields of yellow

Loud birds over the lake, so much noise, so much life!

Sick boy at home

Cancelling plans, making plans with plans to cancel

How long can this go on

Summer is short

16 years of marriage today

Dark rooms

Summer days

What did I mess up? not enough. too much!

Too much ibuprofen

Five day taper of prednisone

Last day

Wild flowers in the wind

Sticky geranium

Silky lupine

Ondansetron

Maybe you can eat something?

You need to eat something with the meds.
