the air is brisk
the sky is white
winter is coming
one last ride in the tractor for the littles
equipment put away for the season
an empty farm yard waiting for winter
snow spotted yard
dirt freezing harder each night
with my leeks still in it
thinking of the holidays
of missing family
of our box of ornaments left behind
jumping for joy over science
begging for more bible reading
tears over typing lessons
spilled green juice
water in the cats food
smashed beans on the floor
red cheeks
cold fingers
still playing tractors in the dirt
friends come by for a visit
little girls giggle and play
big girls giggle and talk
fresh bread from a friend
a letter from a father
good news in my inbox
dirty boots at the door
soap-nuts in the washer
a clean and shiny sink
6 wonderful children tucked in bed
a husband finishing work for the day
quiet time for mom and dad
goodnight my friends
goodnight
as always I loved it. I so get "water in the cat food"!!
