There’s an old dog down the lane who loves to lie in the middle of the road, soaking up the mid-day sun. He doesn't care if you do think you’ve got somewhere important to go, and won’t bother to look up when your toot your horn. He doesn’t have a care in the world, and is damned sure he isn’t buying into any ‘hurry up to nowhere fast’ plans of mine. He’s just another one of those signs on the road that show me which way to go. A pair of Red-Tailed Hawks circle lazily overhead, doing some serious hunting from way up there, but without all that tension and strain of way down here. Another hint supplied to me, suggesting I might do the same. Misty is curled up in the shade...she’s a fast learner...took her no time at all to catch on. Tipper’s asleep under the bench, must just come natural for him. Jimmy the cat, is under the house where it’s dark and cool, catching a few winks. The birds in the house have heads tucked beneath their wings. Wonder why I’m so sleepy, and feel a nap coming on....looks like I’m finally catching on.
