A Walk in the Park

Sunday in the park
Women in pink on a walkathon.
Men in spandex on bicycles.
Little kids pushing their own strollers or
playing in the creek with their dads.
Men with fishing poles.
The oaks are still bare
but the flowering plums stand out among the pines.
Soon the snack bar will open
And the dogs will have one day to swim in the swimming lagoon
Before the people get in.
Blue sky, sun, endorphins
A lovely spring morning at the park

Tackling the last of the boxes in the garage
Brittle picture albums from 1963
An old tin box with letters
my grandmother's diary
my grandfather's pastoral records from the Presbyterian church.
Vases
Decor items
and my favorite
in OilMan's handwriting
pewter doo dahs
