All in one day

We were rained on this morning

At the water ceremony, the raining

came down hard, until it was a drizzle,

We expected it would fizzle

out and it did. Water ceremony

then a trip for a future matrimony

The wedding is in October

I just love the idea of a mid-October

wedding. We have one at the first part

of the month it warms my heart

~

A very large tree fell in the park

and I expected a spark

It sounded like a gunshot

the woman leading looked fraught

She said a tree just fell without cause

and it could've fell on our cars

What a relief that it didn't fall apart

on the cars or the dog park part

Someone's dog was scared waiting

in the car for us to be finishing.

~

Too many funerals lately

I so looked greatly

forward to the bridal showers

with the beautiful live flowers

The bride is thirty-two

and her favorite color is blue

She was given losts of gifts

No spendthrifts

the food was great

really it was first rate

~

The games were fun

and photos after, and one

of me with the bride

I usually want to hide

from photos, I was

not dressed right cause

for pictures as I planned

to go give my kids a hand

on the cabin they are working on

I don't do much, but support John.
