today
clouds blowing
in
over
breaking
and blowing again
the breeze cool
the shade cold
kids
wishing to go
to the beach
what a very funny july
good days
for sewing
for rearranging the furniture
for reading
my columbine
loves this funny summer
last year
there were a few blooms
then the whole plant withered
this year
the columbine
has stayed lush
and full
blooming over and over
my ben
loves this funny summer
he works hard
outside
all day long
and comes home
with a bit of
energy left
we all love
sleeping with the windows open
in this funny july
not sweating
but cool
covered with a quilt
