Sperry Chalet, Glacier National Park, was recently destroyed by fire. In memory, I am posting this photo from my trip there in 1976, after having climbed to Sperry Glacier and subsequently descending a steep snowfield on my bottom which resulted in the wet clothes hanging on the railing to dry. The Chalet was built in 1913.

Blissful lawn concert on June 9 at the Clyfford Still Museum with Covenhoven.

Today is the four year anniversary of my mom’s death. This photo of her was taken in 1970, when she was 49.

Wish I was sitting at her dining room table right now, scooping a serving spoon into a bowl of her tomato sauce and meatballs.

I miss you, Mommy!

I miss my beautiful students and have been re-reading their sweet letters and poems. One of my favorite letters:

“I will miss you a lot. I will miss how you guide us to write poem and I will miss how you jump around the classroom when you get happy and I will miss how you read your poem to us with tears. I will never forget that.

Thank you very much because through you, I can now write a poem for my own without writing someone poem as mine. Thank you.—Hilda Annabil

A gorgeous spring in Denver! We have a columbine growing right out of the concrete stairs!
