Oct 2026

Homing in and out...

Back on the East Coast
Kate and David’s home
Sits atop a cliff
That looms over Hoboken…
With Manhattan just across
The Hudson River.
Their own west-facing view
Lets them keep their eyes
On the distant sunset…
Lake Merritt
And its pelicans.
I think I can seem them.
You?

...
Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.
     ~ Carol Bishop Hipps.

If this isn't nice, what is?
