Graphic by Billie

That I could see her one more time
Her gray curls thin and texture fine,
Such beauty in her barely wrinkled face
Such peril in her deep brown eyes.

Her busy feet her old Singer treddled
While nimble fingers guided brightest print,
Day on top of day passing
Whirring, humming, each well spent.

I warmed in front of the old gas stove,
Ornate grates, backed with asbestos
Admiring and staring, staring, admiring
Her delicate fingers, deceptively untiring.

The day she was gone from her housewife’s labors,
One little house shoe lay empty behind,
How I wish I could see her, hear her sewing
Just one more time.

~Unknown

Re: your rain. My brother lives in Columbus, GA and they are on a water restriction now for watering outside, etc.

Good morning, Meg.

That graphic is so cute ... Thank you.
So happy that you got that good rain.

Have a nice nap, but come back and chat after that.

I didn't see any of the Olympics last night. What did I miss this time? :(

Happy Tuesday to all of you.

But if you would please, do not send me any rain.

I live in an old mobile home, with leaks in strange places.
