Endlessness stretching
before me 'neath warming sun.
Savoring boredom.
Yeah, that would be me without children. The fantasy summer's day, if you will. A summer's day that never really existed, right?
And what about those kids? The reality?
Limitless choices
of summer activities.
Children cry, "I'm bored."

i like the two contrasted here. both are adventures in their own right though.
You are right Floreta .. but I so love "Savoring boredom" ... Unique!
I loved the photo! The sky is amazing. Ahhhhh, the boredom of children. What would they do if they were really bored!?!
Summer boredom! I swear I'll never complain again (she said watching the snow pile up outside). Enjoyed your post!
Ha! I can relate to both perspectives!
Poets always inspire me. :)
Love the photo. I could be bored there.
..'cause every coin has two sides to it..lovely..many thaqnks..
.."many thaqnks"? -shouldn't i be sayin' many thanks!..
You nailed both right on the head. One day, we'll have that fantasy summer day. I'm sure we'll miss the cries of "I'm bored!"
I love the contrast of these two 'kus! I would choose the first summer's day over the second, for sure. Hell, I'd just be happy with SUMMER right now!
Beautiful picture, captured perfectly in words. And you're so right about the kids.
OMG - that reminds me so much of a field I used to play in as a child. I love it!
Oh - and found your blog via "crazy working mom". :)
Wonderful! Of course you could take them to the beach. That won't give you problems like the G.C! Oh yes, we have just returned from the beach at St. Johns. None of our kids with us for that, they are all your age and had to 'work.' Sometimes we take the grandkids.
By tomorrow I'll have a St. John's beach picture for you to drool over on my other blog.
