A Lazy Day

Our jobs were all done yesterday, Got up to a sunny morning today. Breakfast done and dishes washed, Another coffee and my comfy chair, Just gazing about seeing what's there. Azure blue sky and a gentle breeze, All in place for a morning of ease. Birds drink at the fountain I made, They also drink at our water cascade. Bees gathering nectar for their Queen, All in the garden is quite serene. Butterflies flutter by, cicadas chatter, Pigeons in the Pine having a natter. A large bright green lizard ambled across, For all the world saying Hey I'm the boss. Smaller ones flitted among the pots, Prehistoric animals that time forgot. And so the day passed in our Cyprus place, A coffee, a book, our dogs in a lazy space. © Dave Timperley 30 July 2017

It seems a shame to come in and do some computer work some days. I am enjoying retirement immensely. Glad you finally found me Dalene. God Bless. D.

Thanks for stopping by Anita. I think that nearly 60 years of hard slog earns one the right to set back and enjoy the rest of life's journey. If my poetry helps someone else to enjoy it too then that is a bonus. God Bless. D.

Always have a notebook handy Heidi, if not then like a bird it flies of my mind. It was nice just sitting sipping my coffee. No worries about work on Monday. Thanks for stopping by today. God Bless. D.
