blueberries and velveteen

hike to sky lake Awosting with Suzanne
swimming in the blue and green and white
returning home, stopped at Jenkins Lueken Orchard
picked blueberries growing thickly
blushing soft pink, pinker, blue
stopped at Suzanne’s
received a gift of velveteen,
taupe background with a pattern of
brick red, blues and tans

subtly nurtured through the senses
sight, touch, taste, and conversation
