Making It Up As I Go Along #623

FRUIT FLIES
Dust alive
Floating 
Hovering
Invisible 
Until a banana reach scatters
Miniature copters of annoyance

Time warp lives
Generations in hours
The morning newborn
Becomes the evenings grandparent
Their entire world, a plate
With breadcrumbs as continents
And dabs of jam a life giving sea


MONDAY…
--- Skip ball again.  Thought I’d be playing this week but over did it a bit on Saturday and my calf is fairly tender again.  

TUESDAY…
--- Liking the hot weather.  Mom would hate it and my back lawn doesn’t enjoy it.  The backyard really heats up.  Between the shelter from the house and fences and the all day sun back there in the summer, the middle of my lawn is pretty much brown and dead now.  

WEDNESDAY…
--- Considered going to ball today but can still feel a bit of tightness in the leg… so caution wins out.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY…
--- Working away.  I’m tempted to take Friday off and have a four day weekend but I am good and go in anyway.  Still, end the day early… leave at 1:00 and go for drinks and a snack with Darren for a few hours.  
--- After the pub Friday there’s weird weather.  Driving home with the sun out and rain pouring down.  Lots of people caught out walking in it.
--- Blue Jays are really going for it in baseball.  Like the trades… and the excitement around the team.  A little afraid of what the pitching staff will look like in two or three years… all the young pitchers pretty much gone now.  But still it’s fun.

SATURDAY…
--- About an hour out walking.  Calf feeling fine.

SUNDAY…
--- More than an hour out today… though walked slower and took more pictures this time.  A young loon hanging out in the nearest pond to the house.  Not often do I see a loon out there.
