Sunburnt cattails whip in the breeze.

Distant child laughter is heard as they go jumping into a pool.

The kids are soon to go back to school.

A tractor hauls some hay bales in its scoop.

Anxiety is nowhere to be found and all is at peace.

All the new subdivision construction has ceased for while,

and for a few simple moments, the world seems to be free of any guile.
