Water Ceremony, A Bridal Shower, And A New Cabin
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.
