On The Porch

Spent the day on the porch

cleaning up, washing linens, dusting everything,

tucking the gourds into the trug

under the bakers table

This lovely old box holds some

 of my cloth napkins that I use each day

There are three fountains running

 in the yard now

the sound is wonderful

Many evenings 

I regret no longer having a sofa on the porch 

for naps and such

but the bakers table needs a home here.

Darling daughter and friends will gather here

next week for their long awaited reunion.
