Weeds

Almost a lost day
a late start
a scramble to gather up
equipment
tools
materials
wasps in the roof line
trips to
the hardware store
the rental shop
the grocery store
the restaurant
assembling the scaffold
a deer wanders through the yard
as if a regular visitor with special privileges
have a shower
catch the TV news
grab a beer and
dinner
ready to start again tomorrow
work to be done
let's get it over with!
