Sounds Like Spring

Feet up, laid back in my lawn chair.

Simply enjoying the warm air.

When the peace of my perfect day

is interrupted in the harshest way.

To the left I hear a lawn mower drone.

The right, a protesting chainsaw groans.

Next door, the scratching of rake tines

is overpowered by a weed eater's whine.

Sounds like my street is on a roll

but theirs is a path I choose not to go. 

Let my neighbors start spring cleaning.

I'm going back to my spring dreaming!

Day 20, Poem 20: 

Today was a beautiful day! I had this long mental list of what I needed to get done for the weekend; spring cleaning both indoors and out. I got a little done. But, as the day warmed up, I slowed down. Eventually I ended up just sitting in the backyard enjoying my new flower beds and watching the dogs be lazy. I decided they had the right idea and I enjoyed being lazy with them. Yes, I heard all the noises listed in the poem. Everyone around me seemed to be busy. Good for them! For me, all that can wait until another day. It's not like little elves are going to come out of the woodwork and do it for me. LOL!
