July In the Porch Swing In Kansas

July In the Porch Swing In Kansas The wind came up first and it was so sudden everybody said where did that wind come from? It sure was a refreshing south wind but nobody thought nuch until it got almost so dark that mama went in and started supper. We just had lunch grandma said and then it started hailing we never saw a hailstone that big and they bounced on top of the porch like God had it in for us all again. But we just kept swinging and singing them Roy rogers songs, and all at once the rain came. cool and fresh and running down the driveway to the gravel road and then the pond. Everything smelled so good. Bobby grabbed our fishing poles cause he always knew where the catfish would be. and before sunset, we had enough catfish for tomorrows dinner. Grandma cleaned 'em. Mama cooked 'em. We all et 'em. That's whut family's all about. © ron wilson arbuthnot aka veeBdosa the doylestown poet
