Memories of April

Standing in the sunlight entranced with the shiny silver dollar in my hand

Standing with my mother watching a small funnel cloud lower to the ground a mile east

Pretending to be Monkees in the playground at school during recess

Walking to high school singing Another Day with gray clouds hanging low

Discovering differences in humidity impacts on cookies while riding across Texas

Crying in a cemetery as they lower a tiny styrofoam container into the ground

Walking along tilting slippery pavement stones in the rain to catch the street car

Watching sea turtles come in and lay eggs in the sand in the dark and cover them over

Spending hours being made up and hair done to look like a movie star for one beautiful photo

Wearing an emerald green flowing dress with daisies in my hair marrying the right man

Clambering up the Spurgeon Wall in the green southern Indiana heat following flour trails

Invisible before my husband in a park surrounded by saguaro wearing a pink running dress

Eating kangaroo spaghetti in the apartment after visiting the red rocks of Uluru and The Olgas

Sleeping in the nose of a Dolphin and playing on the California coast

Eating dates in a camp chair working on getting energy to climb the next New Mexico hill

Camping with a kidney stone in a driveway in Arizona while he is in the inner-Andean basin

Laying here today in bed writing these memories before I begin my daily puzzle solving job
