Playing in the Dirt - My story

Do you ever wonder what I am up to 

while the guys are slaving

sweating

digging

measuring

pouring and

hammering?

This my friends

is what I have been up to.

see this?

and this

Look here

And over here...

are those thorns?

and poison ivy???

and ticks and chiggers and mosquitoes?

Yes my dainties,

all of the above.

In between each pile

of debris

hand dug

and tossed out from under

the lovely 

cedar trees,

I stagger over to my recliner

and snarf down a

granola bar

and a quart of water.

And scratch my poison ivy some more.

And thank the Good Lord

for life

 and good hard work...

and shade.
