Things I like

1. Sunday evening lawn-sitting with twice-baked potatoes, beans, and my favorite, most strikingly beautiful sister duo.
Mika and Elyse
Lambert the knee spot making a full summer appearance.

2. Monday afternoon Chattanooga Choo Choo dancing on the table with a giant bowl of cookie dough. 
3. How Brookie knows every word to the Chattanooga Choo Choo
(not to mention Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z).
4. Lovely, lovely school books that come every day in the mail.
They smell like learning and life. Today Chateaubriand and Milton surprised me in the mailbox. What's up, guys?

Things I don't like:
1. Bunn ran away. Have you seen an adorable rabbit with floppy ears? Probably faint with dehydration?
2. They razed the rose bushes. Plucked out the pear trees. And when we got Mika to ask them in Spanish, they said they hadn't even seen a bunny in the process.
No roses and no Bunn.
Is this an omen? 
Is this a breath of the end  of summer love?
Love, Ken Burns, and the end is near,
Banana

Carry

I want to carry you
and for you to carry me
the way voices are said to carry over water.

Just this morning on the shore,
I could hear two people talking quietly
in a rowboat on the far side of the lake.

They were talking about fishing,
then one changed the subject,
and, I swear, they began talking about you.

Billy Collins


that's all, folks
