Summertime

Wow! Summer is here and the living is lazy as they say.  Of course I was lazy back in the Spring as well.  No excuses.  I have just not had the urge to sit and spill it out as I used to.  This site has served me well in those times of need but needs have changed.  Funny isn't it?

This summer has been one of beautiful weather and limited company.  Kind of a perfect season.  My biggest complaint is that the weeds are thriving and I haven't been as attentive as I should be.  I didn't plant the hangers that hang empty on my fence.  I didn't even take the empty things down.  I haven't planted any tomatoes as I have in the past.  I sit at the table on my patio and read in the sun.  I bake for 20 minutes or so and then come in for a cold drink and next thing you know I'm sound asleep. I wake up and wander thinking I should dust or sweep or pull those weeds.  I do none of those things.  I think about what to make for dinner.  I might go to the gym at the community center and walk on the treadmill for a bit.  I might not.  If I had a swing out in the yard I would swing lying belly down on that seat like I used to when I was 6.  I'm not 6 or even 60 so it's a damned good thing that swing is gone or neighbors would have to call the emergency crew to get me up.

Ah!  Summer!  I hope you're having a good one too.
