Summertime rising as a retired folk can be rigorous....out of bed at the crack of dawn....the same time i had as a teenager to milk the cows before school....no beverage, no tidbit of food till chores finished....so I pull back the sun covering off the coiled garden hose and hope that today, this morning, a snake will be sleeping, but alas just crickets jumping madly to more secure hiding spots.
Uncoil the hose and water the veggie garden, the ground cover, the new growth palm trees, the busting out blooms of summer desert shrubs and sprouts of new growth from the variety of flowers. Wave at the folks walking their dogs....every morning moving as fast as we can, crickets we are...soon we will cover ourselves till sunset....unless we are going to see the doctor....and then I reckon we all shower since arthritis skin rubs cover a multitude of odors if we just go grocery shopping.
