The Summer Breeze
Life in the Hammock
Swaying in the summer breeze
Flecks of chirping yellow
Three frantic flaps broadcast to the world
A second of silent drop
Until the cycle repeats.
Red breasted perchers
Glaring down upon me
From high above on eaves trough
Wanting to search for meals
Sky wandering insects
Bees buzz
Mosquitos hum
A lone dragonfly on mute
All cross my line of view on their way to exploration.
Looking beyond the birds and bees
Distant people cross the sky
Encased in winged metal
A whispered roar within the blue
Disappearing beyond tufts of cloud
And through it all I sway
Feet dangling
Pulse slowing
Gentle breaths giving way to yawns
Yawns whisked away
Upon the summer breeze
TUESDAY...
--- Days alone. Busy day too. Really don't pause before 4:00 pm.
--- Find out we had a tornado in Ottawa yesterday. A small one. Wind
speeds between 90-115 km/hr. but it was a funnel cloud... It destroyed 20-25
trees on Pineview golf course... And it happened 8 km from my house. Gives you
pause.
--- Quiet evening to end the day.
WEDNESDAY...
--- Much quieter day. Alone is just right for it.
THURSDAY...
--- Busy night still alone.
--- A nice drive home after work. The clouds are puffy and coloured
in the rising sun. And low fog on the farms. Take a few pics as I drive.
FRIDAY...
--- Quiet night. A&W for supper. And a pretty peaceful
time once the Armenian festival next door ends at 11:00.
SATURDAY...
--- Chat with Phil some at shift change and don't make bed before
7:30. Wake close to noon and do a forty-five minute walk in the afternoon.
SUNDAY...
--- House work day. Mow both lawns. Trim the edges as well. And
clean all three bathrooms... Plus the kitchen sink.
--- A nap and some TV as well. Sharkweek on Discovery adds some
interesting stuff.
MONDAY...
--- Sleep pretty well last night. A good seven hours.
--- Early afternoon walk. Out for almost an hour. Lots of
grasshoppers out there these days.
