And So Ends the Month of June

Next Summer you say,
procrastinate away,
Okay, well, next Summer
is only a Winter away ...

This Summer
I planted 3 trees
2 by myself,
Made a bait worm home
out in the corral,
planted tomatoes.

Cooked my meals delicious
mowed, washed dishes,
observed much about
natural phenomena
and cows.

Made better friends with Smokey
and he with the herd,
... practiced guitar ...
Improved intuitively,
Now I prepare to leave.
