I've taken to waking early, jumping in
the car, and bringing the pup to non-mosquito lands, to amble down sidewalks by
the small town's greens.
Here, people stand around tall tables,
trimming asparagus just picked moments ago, then settling them in water, to
drink their fill til someone drives by a farmstand, and takes them home. Radio
fills the air as they talk and laugh and work.
Down the street lay fields everywhere in
this farming community, with farm workers from other countries just beginning
their long days, in the relative cool of the early morning breeze.
On we stroll, as he delights in every
smell, every surprise, every new drain pipe, or trill from the branches far
above.
"Here, right here!" the day
calls to me, settling me in only what is happening right now.
The stolid feel of my feet upon the
sidewalk, greenery everywhere abounding despite little rain.
The spring proceeding very nicely, thank
you very much, on toward our next summer. As the earth turns and the sun rises
high into the blue bright sky.
