That’s More Like It!
70 degrees and sunny.
I love these days.
Up and down the block the neighbors were all out...
...lawns being mowed, weeds being yanked, dogs being walked.
I headed out early enough.
Sam was going off to work.
“I work until five,” he said. “I’ll mow the lawn when I get home.”
“The garage!” I said. “You have to clean that!”
I put some tunes on.
Yanked some weeds.
The hip is barking, and I have a cortisone shot coming but damn! It was nice out!
Six hours later, the Yankees were on.
I was on the couch with ice.
“I’ll get the lawn before I go to Matt’s to dog sit,” Sam texted.
“It’s done,” I answered. “I wanted to do it.”
“Okay, haha. I’ll clean the garage then.”
“That’s done too,” I answered.
I waited for a moment and watched the little thought bubble.
“You’re insane,” he wrote.
Tell me something I don’t know kid!
“The hot sun will clear your mind and body. Hard work will take away the pain.”
That’s a line from Tucson Train...
...the great new Bruce song.
It’s true!
I felt better, actually.
And the lawn looks good.
Summer.
Hope is lasts a few days.
