Happy Labor Day!
I hope you are getting to relax.
Yesterday, QG and I started watching season 2 of The Killing -oh my lordie, it is the best series ever - if you have not seen it, I challenge you to watch the first episode without getting addicted. It is not possible. You will emerge hours later, bleary-eyed from watching tons of dark and rainy episodes. I think we watched 6 or 7 straight - a super-fun and indulgent waste of time which I highly recommend (though I was crocheting the whole time so something got done).
Today, I've been working on poetry, gave Jamie a bath in the back yard, read the newspaper, did some gardening and ironing and took a few pictures around the neighborhood. QG and I are about to go out for lunch as soon as he gets done scrubbing the kitchen floor - don't know what possessed him to do that, but I'm not complaining.
I love this kind of day: a day pieced together out of random scraps. Here are a few of the pieces. See how many fun bits you can squeeze into today. Enjoy!
Rumbly
mountain top
Cardboard
cereal box
SuperBall
bouncing high
My
own corner of bluest sky
A
pond to splash and swim
So
many games to win
Sunlight
on skin
Secrets
within
White
light ahead
So
much to dread
Spiders
on forehead, shoe
Arms
falling slack at sides
Feeling
like I should hide
Not
sure of what I see
Don’t
know all I need
Happy,
yet sad
Try
to be glad
Life
spilling over, beneath
Wanting
to learn, not teach
Sitting
quietly at rest
Finding
I am blessed
