AHHHHH GOD
Am I sick of winter..
yes it is a bright sunny day and for that I am thankful…
but I am ever so ready for a screenporch meal…
you know with ice tea with lemons and lots and lots of ice
so much it makes the glass sweat
and grilled marinated steak tips
with bits of crisp black where the marinade is scorched
but the inside is still pink and tasty
maybe a fresh salad with tomatoes
you know real tomatoes the kind that are juicy and never hard or styrofoam like perhaps a berry dessert…
with whip cream
real cream whipped with a mixer and confectioners sugar
not out of a high pressurized can
I am ever so ready for a lake house vacation
with kayaks and canoes
and sleeping late
or waking up early taking a walk and taking an afternoon nap
playing games lots and lots of board games
Blokus Wizard Carcassonne Settlers of Catan.
Reading a book
Watching the stars in a sky without city lights
I am ever so ready for the summertime visits
Having the boys and Grandma Dot blabbing on and on
missing my eldest as he goes away for a whole summer
The ceiling fan whirling overhead moving the warm air about
Ah Lord thank you for the prospect of a warmer time to come
a time of relaxation and quiet.
Amen
