. . . growth . . .

. . . a lot can happen in twenty-five years . . .
. . . see that tiny twig
in the corner of the yard,
back behind the swing set? . . .
. . . it has turned into this monstrosity . . .

. . . which kind of makes me
wish for the good old days . . .

. . . you know . . .
. . . when there were
hardly any leaves to rake . . .

. . . and bill could jump
on the trampoline . . .

Where do the days go???? Time flies even when we're not having fun! To have our hubbies feelin' that good again would be nice.
