An afternoon to pick up sticks
Not the plastic kind in a tube
The ones under huge oak trees
That fell from too many windy days and nights.
It’s preparation for the time to begin mowing
Hopefully tomorrow, if it doesn’t rain tonight.
Then the yard will look presentable to passers by.
Neighbors honk at us as they head to the grocery store
We straighten up and wave at them.
That’s as close as we can get.
I wished for someone to turn in our drive.
But with social distancing it won’t happen.
Tomorrow maybe we can burn the sticks.
Or burn then in the fire pit in the evening.
And have a night out!
I could visualize you straightening up to wave to someone honking as they pass by. Oh, I vote for a night out by the fireside! 🙂
