Normally
If I have a chance to go to the lake alone
Or with one child or two
And I have some time to myself
I usually paint
Not pictures
Old furniture purchased at the good will
Or
Repaint
The old furniture purchased at the good will
Spray paint wicker
And plastic lawn chairs
plant wild flowers
Using neighbor’s seeds
Untangle countless extension cords
For power washer
And leaf blower
Arrange and rearrange furniture
clean out garage
Chase and kill bugs
empty humidifier
organize drawers
gather sticks and debris
Sweep driveway
Play in the dirt
Fight the cob webs
restock
Sometimes
I will return home without ever seeing a sunset
Or going for a swim
I have a million books and magazines on hand
All unread by me
I forgot this was a get away
Not another place to work
And that’s another story
