End view of my tomato garden, too many tomatoes to be easily counted.

End view of my tomato garden, too many tomatoes to be easily counted.

It is the end of a very hot day.

Pasta for supper because I will not stand by the grill in this heat.

The tomatoes are coming along very well, 5 different varieties, all of them good for everything.

Maxwell had finished changing the shutoffs under the kitchen sink when Bella snapped to attention as fast as a 15 year old black lab with arthritis could. Hackles raised, fangs barred, and eyes focused at the cabinet. 

"Hey Chloe, your crazy dog is having a meltdown."

Before she could respond, Maxwell heard it too, like a car door locks opening and closing, but deeper and inside the wall.

It finally happened, I figured how the prequel is going to work.

Outlining one and proofreading the other.

I write on whatever, desktop, laptop, or a crappy notepad. Voice typing, keyboard, swipe, whatever.
I have ADHD so I write to help me stay centered and that can happen whenever or wherever.

The Sound of Rain Before You Were Born

it was falling
on roofs that are gone now

it was moving
through the grass you have never seen

there were leaves
that caught it in the dark
and let it go again

it passed into rivers
already forgetting

and into the mouths of fish
and roots in the earth
that would hold you one day

no one knew
you would be here
listening

-Gerhard Oevermann 8/11/25

His previous encounter did not go so well. We did discover a homemade treatment to remove the smell. I also discovered how to properly bathe a cat so they don't try to kill you.

Text from the image

Floofus No. 21

From dark forest 
A small shape came
Out of the night
The wild untamed 
The hunger drives
The senses keen
The Wary eyes
The one unseen 
He seeks to eat
And be left alone
Another just
Protects his home
Claws and fangs 
The feline fist
But Dodger dodged 
And the skunks mist missed

For spelling, and punctuation correction, I'm good with it. Most of the sentence correction, absolutely not

Based on the number of errors that Grammerly found in Ch5 it must think English is my second language. ๐Ÿคฃ

I usually get out for a walk and then I can dictate what I can, a half a chapter or so. When I can't, I am grateful to watch my wife's progress with her physio.

For What You Cannot Hold Forever

Walk the streets
you once thought were yours,
past the tree whose roots
still lift the pavement in slow defiance.

Listen to the sound
of a door closing two rooms away-
not slammed,
just enough to remind you
you are not alone.

Keep the taste
of the orange you peeled for someone else,
its scent staying on your hands
long after they left.

Touch the railing
on the bridge you stopped halfway across,
not to look down,
but to keep the water from leaving without you.

Lean your shoulder
into the wall while the microwave hums,
feeling the house
hold you as much as you hold it.

Remember the park bench
where you sat too close to a stranger
and neither of you moved.

Carry the warmth of the seat beside you
after someone stood up,
as if it were meant to travel with you.

Turn toward the window
when music drifts from far away,
even if itโ€™s only the wind
touching something loose.

Cradle the envelope
that was returned unopened,
its corners softened
by the miles it wandered back to you.

Leave a chair empty
at the table tonight,
for the one youโ€™ve forgotten
who still knows your name.

Follow the shadow of a bird
across the wall,
knowing it will vanish
before you speak it aloud.

Trace the shape of a photograph in the dark,
finding the faces you miss
without needing to see them.

Let your hand rest
on anotherโ€™s sleeve
just long enough
to be remembered.

Stay in the pause
between one breath and the next,
where nothing is lost
and nothing yet begun.

-Gerhard Oevermann 8/9/25

Every story requires a cat.
He his every cat I have ever owned.
I didn't know what to name him, so I named him after my brother. He isn't on bluesky
