Summer

Day one is off to an impressive start.
The sky is blue.
The breeze is gentle. But enough to stir the
wind chimes hanging from the tree branch.
They jingle.
Church bells chime in the distance.
The black cat watching from the window
slowly closes his eyes and naps.
I feel peaceful fussing with the garden,
pulling weeds,
giving the beans a pole to climb.
I can hear you in the house
talking to the dog.
Everything I love about my life
is this moment.
