After days ... weeks, even ... the sun comes out, stays out, and creates a wonderful day right smack in the midst of winter.
I know I've done the Haiku thing before, but here it is -- Haiku for my Saturday.
Try to leave early,
The car is covered in ice
It needs to warm up.
There is much black ice
The driveway is dangerous --
Almost fall on ass.
Lacrosse starts today:
"Hey, Mom, bring my goalie gloves --
Let's give them away!"
In the car, heat cranks
Warm on feet - Windows open
To let some air in.
Toll House and peanut butter
Cookies for the team.
Sun is out, no wind:
The greatest lacrosse weather
To stand on the field.
After the scrimmage
We feed the kids like gluttons
And gorge them with sweets.
When it's all over
We've had a day in the sun:
Great lacrosse and friends!
Like an idiot
Get a sunburn on my face--
Rest of me still pale.
Thank you for warm days
Otherwise winter would drive
Me to kill myself.
