from Saturday Centus, 7/30/2011
.
Egg fried on sidewalk
.
THAT’s hot.
And hot it is.
Ground is dry.
Cattle look for food and water.
Little kids look for swimming holes.
Hurricane Don,
a disappointment,
was thought of as a welcome sight.
City dwellers bake
as asphalt absorbs the heat,
Air conditioners a premium
…it’s lets go for a walk at the mall,
the parks too hot !
Dog days yet to come.
Dad said:
“We have to have weather
weather we want it or not.”
I think of Dad when
the weather’s rainy
icy cold, or
hot enough to fry an
egg on the side walk.

Beautiful blooms…all on the same bush…only one bush was planted in this spot.

Getting old is really chicken poop.

High tide, Trenton, Maine, USA

Out going tide…same spot, same day. Trenton, Maine, USA

Six word Saturday Blog
Getting old is really chicken poop.
.
The process:
Not used to slowing down…
arthritis struck my left knee
before the every six month injection
took effect…
…I’m not a wuss,
so when I complain,
it makes me angry that it is so bad
I can’t keep my mouth shut.
I do think that this is why
the snake oil man got rich…
I’ll bet people back in the day
would do anything
to get rid of the pain.
I had places to go and things to do !
Will have to think a a new defense in six
months…
Sigh.
