Gone Fishin’
The Greener Biener Takes A Break
I’ll miss you dear readers,
It’s for you that I write
But the call of the wild (that is, my backyard)
Is too strong to fight
Schools out for summer
I’ve cut back on house cleaning
Yet my time packs right up
With picnic-making and sun-screening
And there are weeds that need weeding
And ice cream to eat
And bikes that need riding
And filthy bare-feet
The children are clamoring
Long forgotten is school
They run through the sprinklers
And jump in the pool
Between following the kiddos
And watering the plants
When it comes time for typing
I’m finding…I can’t
But I’ll be back soon
With stories for sowing
‘Til then, Happy Summer
And to all some good growing
**** As always, thanks for reading. The Greener Biener is taking a sabbatical, but I’ll be adding garden updates from time to time to chronicle the progress of our home-grown veggies.
Hope to see you again in the fall.

I wonder what I can take a sabattical from?!
(Assuming I learn to spell sabbatical!)
Enjoy your break! I look forward to pictures of the well-tended garden 🙂
Excellent – bring your butt out east!
Just to let you know, I will miss your weekly gems
Fantastic! Have a wonderful summer!

This will give me a chance to catch up on all the posts! Thank you – I appreciate it. Miss you! XOXO
Very nice poem. What kind of ice cream works best for writer’s cramp?
