last evening
chatting with neighbor's kids
and having a blast

knock on the door-
little girls next door
want to plant flowers

weekend news
god sister's fun with family
friends leaving church

first light-
reaching for a blanket
AC fixed at last

evening gardening
enjoying the cool water
dripping on my feet

sky at dusk
single white clouds sit atop
thunderstorm

summer solstice
through the closed blinds
watching the sun drop

scorching weekend
outside only if I need to
and still wilting

evening's plans
chatting with an old friend
over great seafood

before bedtime
a burst of cleaning energy
wells up from somewhere

forehausted
a long lounge on the couch
before dinner

friend in the hospital
sending a care package
to the family

late night read
finishing a good book
with a fall flat end

today's weed work-
wondering why
they are so vigorous

afternoon gardening
the dirt under my nails
relieves work stress

garden work-
chatting with the veggies
as I pull the weeds

weekend-
catching up the last nine years
with the girlfriends

last evening-
not enough energy
to walk up to bed

year's first fireflies
escort to to the curb
on weekly trash run

fourth day of heat
waiting till amost dusk
to tend the garden

brutal weekend-
bought stuff to organize
it's too hot to start
