5/7

visited her bench today
and brought 9 stones and a sprig of dried lilacs to leave for her

i sat down to write a bit and was surrounded by very large bees
one insisted on going up my skirt
over & over
i was very nervous that i could get stung
so i went for a walk in the native flora garden
that is just to the left of where her bench is located
an area that she would have loved
because it is like walking in the woods;
it's wild and woolly in there
