Fall Field Notes: A Change of Seasons No.9 — Donna Hopkins

Things feel very complicated. And then I remember I do not have to buy into every trend or influence or promise. Some really wonderful things are simple. Cherry tomatoes on the vine. A handmade pottery mug. Rearranging the pictures I already own to make my home feel updated. Fresh flowers.

Same old camera.
Same old husband.
Same old car. Same house.
Chili from the freezer for lunch.
Do I sound old?
What does old even sound like?
Maybe everything old is new again.
