Not much you can do
a thing or two

like saucers of beer:
all slugs, check in here

ditto for kale —
not doing swell

snow peas reliable,
sweet, crisp, stir fry-able

happy white blooms
mean Roma beans soon

a day lily bud makes it
if none of the deer takes it.

Each morning I savor
fair trade coffee’s rich flavor

and survey whatever
has spunk to persevere
