Greetings to all of our faithful Scull-Craft calendar friends!
In our often chaotic world, one thing you can count on is that a new year is coming and you can be ready for it with your favorite calendar to plan all your days, both the ordinary and the extraordinary ones.
We are looking forward to our local farm market opening soon, gazing at the sky in wonder on those wonderfully warm summer nights, and making delicious homemade food to share with our ever growing family. Sometimes it is the most ordinary parts of our lives that have the most meaning. Sharing a poem that I love…
Ordinary Day by Kathleen Fullerton
I change the cloth on the dining room table
we rarely use.
Open the china cabinet door
spilling the smell of my grandmother’s apartment,
after 20 years,
sweet, cedar, Jean Naté, bites the back of my throat.
I pull her cloth from the shelf.
Will you notice?
Salmon-colored linen, its creased topography across the table.
Will you think it’s artistic?
The round glass platter, blue and green iguana hand painted, from Australia
a gift when we left a lifetime ago.
I melt into the room’s soft hue.
Cherry cabinet glowing in the light from the window
filtered through bold purple rhododendron blooms
gangly limbs, glossy leaves framed there.
Brown and beige museum print, Aboriginal art,
muted above the salmon cloth over the mahogany table
legs aglow on honey floorboards,
dappled light hushes this ordinary day.
