Lazy Day

A lawnmower whirrs in the distance My neighbor has gotten ambitious The sun shines upon my head As I sit upon my deck I feel the warm rays soak into my skin Am I tanning yet? The bees are busy buzzing Stopping only to drink from sweet blossoms Birds are calling happily Back and forth across my rising lawn Should I get ambitious too And mow my growing grass? I sigh Not today . . . Not today

I guess not all summer sounds are happy if they insist you must get up and tend to chores. Thank you for your comments . Love, Joyce

funny--we have had to mow ours several times already--it gets too thick in spots. The rest is weeds.
