From Linda: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “beside you.” Write about whatever is beside you when you read this prompt. Not when you sit down to write, but whatever is beside you right now. Take note of it if you think you might forget. Enjoy!
What Day Is It Anyway? Coping with Covid day 9
The quarantine continues, our governor has asked for more business closures. We’re holding up OK here although we’ve got “new” campers in the park who have been asked to self quarantine for 14 days, don’t know how compliant they’re being but, hey we’ll see.
Linda has asked us to write about what’s “beside you” when you read this prompt. For me, it is my ever present coffee/tea cup directly to my left hand; my window open to my right letting in some sunshine. That window becomes more and more important to me the longer I’m “inside.” We still get out a bit for walks very early in the morning before everybody invades our little spot of solitude but have been curtailing those a bit due to my continuing cough.
Outside my window
the wind blows,
robins squabble
over tasty worms,
bunnies sample tender
green shoots of grass,
trees sway,
their branches dancing
in the Spring winds
dotting the ground
with pine cones
oblivious to the
worries of humans

Take care of that cough…

Thanks John, wish I could say it’s unusual but honestly, I hack my way through most of Spring, dratted tree pollens! 😉

Beautiful scenery! Oh, no! Please take care of yourself. This is cold and allergy season and we all have to worry at every sneeze and cough. May it be just that and nothing more. Hugs, my friend!

A natural distance reminder to others, eh? Me too. Spring and Fall when trees are dropping stuff–blooms or leaves. Or windy days with lots of dust. Ah-choo! Bless you!
