Drying out

 

The plants keep taking water.

Rain doesn’t fall from the sky everyday.

Flowers and vegetables slurp all they can.

We keep listening to the weather man and women.


No blue above at all today.

Sky is white til outasight.

Shaking leaves begin to blow.

If this were winter I’d think snow.


A little weather break.

We can stand some idle time.

Get out the mower and the rake.

Cleanup’s on your. Time and mine.

They say rain

 

We always have the unknown they say how weather is

And now a little bit of thunder.

 By the time I say it’s long gone.

Another rumble.


Big Little and new Little are out.

 No idea where they’ll hide from the rain.

Rumble again 

Beautiful morning 


A lot of color..

Now a lot of rain and sounds.

Birds and downpours.

Then just drips in stillness.

Trees away

 

They came, they sold. We bought

Trees away.  Three be gone,

And some little ones that 

May have been worth it but are now out of here.


I thought, that’s the end of the matter.

We’ll live wi what we have.

Regretting don’t fit well.

Sure comes close to applicable.


Now is another day.

We’re already into other things.

Time to look at how it is,

We’ll start again, that’s what I say.

Enter ring dash

 

mighty Little, then new little 

Appear first in front after the other

Then after a pause dash together or practically.

Zipping off they were here then depart


It’s not easy to write about speeders.

Those who can’t stay long enough to act friendly.

I know they’re goodness sitting, running.

We‘ll wait to see how they go.


Going later, toward nine now.

Perhaps warm today. We’re hoping.

A small boat. Light wind.

We can sail well.

Puppet on a string

 

Red flowers are attractive.

They could dance and boom.

No one is out walking this morning.

Quiet as can be out there.


This is a day to straighten the area.

I’ll take it easy getting the space in order.

Nothing special weather wise.

We’re in a good position.

Working it out baby


Thinking what she has to do today.

Little is out there this morning.

A large, sitting ball of bunnie.

Now now heading to the back yard.


Gets up early.

It’s a week before the middle of July.

Prime summer.

What we wish and wait for the rest of the year.


This is a perfect warm day.

Splashing water birds are set for

Green grass is growing

A luminous summer day.

large deer

 

Lost the entry for today 6 July 2023.

Seemed another day progressed on schedule.

A large deer appeared in the back yard,

Standing on the edge of the woods.


Not moving. Waiting patiently. With

Only the slightest turn of her head.

Not moving, practically invisible.

I carefully wrote about this wonderful anima


Then lost my entry when I searched to

Make sure it was there.

It rarely happens that I loose one. I think.


The deer was magnificent.

What I wrote seemed complimentary and

Then it was a blank page.  I did it again.

Safety first

 .00 a number, signifying rain predicted for tomorrow.

The figure is a scant larger than today’s

The ciphers for both days are minimal.

Water minimal is what we live with.


When I start looking for water from the sky

On the days before it begins-

I’m ready to end the dryness.

Help these flowers and vegetables grow


Akron is around the corner;

So when do we hear, then see the Goodyear Blimp.

Low and floating overhead.

Now there is an event-and-a-half.

a Foggy day unexpectedly


You’d think it’d be over,
Its Tuesday of  a week celebrating.
Today is finally the holy.
All are worn and going strong.

It must be that way
But nearly nine
And no one has moved.
They were out early, so must be resting.

I’ll take my time to figure what’s up.
Fog and silence start the day.
A large rabbit just walked by.
Eating and slow hopping. My my.

I slept and dreamed last night;
It was quite the magical crowd.
Now its fine, just struck nine.
No more fireworks banging off so very loud.

Long holidays

 

Line the celebration across the weekend.

The longest stretch of holiday in my lifetime.

Seems whipped open

Hardiness full of up and comings.


The house across the street is the Methodist pastor’s home.

 Monique is she, we just met.

She shouted hi and walked over.

A friendly new neighbor, we’ll take one.


So there we have our holidays weekend underway.

Poco a poco, little by little

We discover where we are.

Our times are bright

France disturbances

 

Tough times spread 

Listening to what’s said

Rough all over.

 Cover your head.

i am almost done

 

Here we be. Wrapping up.

Great spirit that is greater than any of us.

Way it ought to be.

Take it easy. The holiday is upon us.


This magical stuff is hard to take

Like card tricks by a magician.

If I say magic again

something may disappear 


Cool and quiet

 

Not overly still or off the scale temperature wise.

Just fine and dark.

Damp out.

hardly notice any difference on the inside.


Will be a good Sunday for most anything.

Reasonable activities always fit well.

Have room around the woods for robins,

Cardinals, chipmunks. Rabbits, squirrels and the rest.


Deer walk by now and then,

Or every night.

Red on our tree top

 

Is it early turbot or on time? I can’t say.

The blistering scarlet top is for sure present.

All day cloudy because fires continue.

It’s suggested we stay indoors.


Times have caught a new wave.

Leaders trying hard to save.

In cities on major boulevards thousands rave 

Working hard to avoid the grave.


Some rain, green grows thick.

Bunnies hide. We do too

Running quick.

Mornings are cool.

Should be

 

Listen to me, I’m telling you what the weather will be.

I read it, believe it, and pass it on.

I’m trained.

What happened to me looking out the window.


Today might be the warmest of the year, so far.

I’m dressed for warm so i believe it.

Cloudy, so looks like the Canadian smoke continues.

Right now I’ll coffee-up.





Wednesday, June 28, 2023

Right on we say

 

Dream swirled with me in it.

Now I’ve coffeed once and

Am looking over my shoulder for more. 

Baby squirrel and new little bunnie are in the back yard.


Weather is dry this middle of the week.

Warming to mid seventies.

Nothing so terribly hot or humid.

Feels like it’ll be  regular, good summer day


I’ll jot a little, like this I’m doing.

We’ll see what will be as the calendar spins.

On and off again, working it out.

Smile and think good, what it’s about.



Tuesday, June 27, 2023

Showers all day

 

Other parts had the rain 

We were border dry,

Finally one day it came our way.

Now I’m sitting, waiting again, no lie.


What we usually get is a forecast of rain.

Then nothing happens.

Skies always cloudy

So rain seems around the corner.


Sunday, June 25, 2023

June will soon be rolling over

 

Will be very warm for these parts.

Not like Texas with temps absurd .

Our area is warm enough for us.

We need a forest to hide in heavy green.


We do have a small woods on one side.

i can check the weather there.

It will make our acre yard worth while.

Instead of taking for granted I’ll examine.


Now the fine line of wonder opens.

Hello good June Sunday, come on in,

Blue sky, clouds flow puffy again,

A measure for how and where we’ve been.

Immigrants on the med


In search of home;
In loving friendships.
Family, garden, 
Sun and water.

Guidance, justice 
Peace and order.
Nourishing seasons.
A good kitchen with stove to cook on.

No pushing,
Order, kindness.
Birds and animals
 plans for the future 

Books to learn and enjoy.
Games for skill and confidence.
A moon at night.
Legends and hope for tomorrow

Watch back

 

the little bunny sat a while

 not moving just looking.

i  had toast, grape jelly and a coffee

and kept an eye out; nothing happened.


at this moment all looks good.

perhaps there was a splash of rain last night.

plants are healthy.

cloudy but I think warm enough.


this is the kind of today we need .

how a summer day should be.

feeling okay how it all comes about.

practically a heart warming comedy.
