Cane pole
Some worms
A coke
And Lance crackers
A day on the lake. The wind and wake combine to form ecstasy. Late summer sun with a breeze as my portable fan. Just cruising around looking at my favorite homes. Which one do I pick? It’s almost like I would jump out of the boat, swim and introduce myself to the owners. I could only imagine them sipping sweet tea on that veranda. My only offer is a hearty hey there. When I got home, I’d just shower and collapse into my clean green sheets. My dog would still smell like lake water after he fell in, thinking he had twinkle toes as he made his way around the boat. He would soon find out to the contrary. I can taste the sunscreen and melted Hershey bars that made a mess of my beautiful and carefree countenance.

ReplyDeleteA cane pole and worms, that sure brings back the memories of fishing with my Grandpa.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't guessed where you lived until you said a 'hey, there' and then I knew! lol What a beautiful scene you painted with words!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderfully visual writer. This is such a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteEven I two different thoughts when I read your words. Water...one was of our town which has a great deal of flooding with our recent hurricane.... but the other image was of me back when I was a little girl and my MOTHER would take me fishing along a small creek near us...I never caught anything...but sitting near that water relaxing with my Mother brought back pleasant memories.
ReplyDeleteSimple lovely words you share with all of us. Take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I have great summertime memories too. I sometimes wish I could relive them, but not if I had to go through the same things again as I grew up.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
