A Surprising Day
With ScareLady and Baggy Carrot
It was the end of the day.
Baggy and Scare, seated in rocking chairs
On their rambling front porch looked back over their day.
It had been a quiet day, filled with common ordinary
Everyday Happenings.
They woke up with the sun.
Brother and sister stretched, glad to be alive.
Baggy was in his cottage,
ScareLady at home in the farmhouse.
After a shower for each — warm for Scare, brisk for Baggy,
They each had a cup of tea
And oatmeal, going over the plan for the day.
Out into the garden they went.
The flowering trees were magnificent that year,
The aroma heavenly.
They dug in the dirt, getting pleasantly tired
Until lunch time.
That meant a walk down to the river for a picnic.
A red checkered tablecloth was spread
Under the new leaves of a maple tree,
Napping, reading from their favorite books and dozzzzzing with the bees.
All was quiet.
Back home they went to do the afternoon chores,
Preparing some supper
And sitting on the porch to survey their ancestral land
And their day
Often, in Scare and Baggy’s lives, strange twists of Happenstance
well…. Happen
Not today…
NOTHING happened and that was PERFECT!
Thank you for reading!
