Making It Up As I Go Along #518


Fall
Fall quietly drifts.
Subtle hints whisper

Night shifts end darkly
Horizon orange climbing
As bedroom blind drops

Summer’s drought ended
Showers of rain
Thirstily gulped by earth

Windy days drop leaves
Turning untethered red
Dryly skipping over stones

Cricketed still evenings
Crisp star skies
The humidity of day gone

Summer quietly drifts
Gently stroking shoulders
As it meanders to the horizon.




TUESDAY…
--- Mom and dad here and we’re off.  Van Gogh exhibit at the art gallery.  Some time downtown for lunch prior to that.  Groceries and BBQ for supper.

WEDNESDAY…
--- MEC for some shopping.  Lunch at Paddy’s Pub… run in to Karl there… To the mall for some more shopping, but not before going to the wood working store just down from Paddy’s.  I get a small table for the front porch and a rocking chair for the living room.
--- Ball this evening.  Mom and dad there to watch as we win with me pitching.  Not as impressive as pitching fastball… but a fun evening all the same.
--- Chinese food after the game.

THURSDAY…
--- Mom and dad’s last day in town.  Mom does all sorts of cooking for me.  We make a run around looking for a freezer for me to put in the basement.  Find one at Walmart but it’s not in right now and I have to wait.
--- Out to Moxies for supper.  A nice night out.

FRIDAY…
--- Drop mom and dad at the airport around 11:00.  A good visit with them.
--- Work the night shift.  Pretty quiet night at work.

SATURDAY…
--- Up around 10:30 or so… Tired day.  Do a walk and pretty well lay low the rest of the day.

SUNDAY…
--- Get the freezer today.  Now I’ll be able to spread around mom’s goodies rather than jam up my kitchen freezer.
--- A walk and some TV as well today.

MONDAY…
--- Walk… and laundry… some TV.
