…I’m going away with my friend. This one might be tougher; the main score performed by The Sandpipers from The Sterile Cuckoo, a 1969 movie with Liza Minelli.
In the backyard the hawks still call, it’s been a week so I believe they are all right and eating. The hummingbird, the shy one does finally come up to me and the cardinal teaches his kids to sit and chirp at me for food. The rabbit sits beneath the feeder believing that I do not see him. I talk to him but he remains dead-still. He is confused.
Nice rain, green grass, white sky trying hard to hold its breath and turn blue.
