After the Night is Over

Sunrise with oaks

After the night is over, after the danger passes, sometimes I see a little more clearly.

Recently, a neighbor was in an accident on our country road. We posted a note at the accident scene that she was all right and took her home. But our poor volunteer fire dept. guys received a ton of worried calls. Matt alone received 4 and had someone stop by.

I wish I had thought to call them and explain that the neighbor was alright and the vehicle would be towed the next day. They eventually read my note–but not till four of them left their warm homes, climbed into the fire engine, and drove to the scene.

Thanks guys for being there. I’m sorry I didn’t see the light a little sooner.

For Salmon Creekers call any of the fire guys–Here are two #’s that are great to have in case of emergency:

Matt Stark 943 3502 and Dan Gribi 943 3006

One of the things I really miss about the country is that people know each other and are there for each other. That does not exist in the cold hard city of Los Angeles.

I love that part of living here but your latest post makes your neighborhood sound like a community too.

A little bit, if you get to know your neighborhood. Not like up there though where, if you get stuck in mud, sooner or later someone you know is going to come along and help you dig out.

Morning robin’s song
Many geese fly overhead
I give thanks each day.

Mmm, I like that one!

Sunshine through the clouds
Lights a spray of Pear blossum
Time for gardening

Indeed it is time for gardening. I can’t wait to get out of the office, so I can go home and assemble our Costco 600 sq ft greenhouse. I want to grow tomatos in Loleta!

I like you haiku, too!

Across morning skies
Trees paint pictograms with twigs
Dipped in wells of night
