All Over the Map

Yesterday I wrote a post.

I hit the button to publish.

Swoosh, down the plug hole it went.

I can't even remember what I wrote.

I'm sure it must have been fascinating.

I am feeling very unfocused today.

I am missing this person.

My grand daughter, AKA

The Vet,

spent the last week with us.

Fortunately for me,

she abandoned her animal hospital

and spent the days outside

in her cardboard fort in the woods.

I say fortunately for me,

because I had run out of medical emergencies,

names for dreaded diseases,

and illnesses.

Her stuffed puppies had the week off too.
Right now, I can hear one of the hens...
This afternoon I will look out of the window
and watch with pleasure as all of my feathered
ladies take their ritual dust bath...
I can smell the cantaloupe ripening on
the kitchen counter...
I wonder if there is such a thing as
Eau de Cantaloupe...
I would certainly splash some on...
It is going to be very warm today,
close to 90,
and I am grateful that it always cools off at night...
I want to go out and pick more of these...

but I need to unearth

the laundry room floor.

Happy weekend.

Best to all, e.
