NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-eight

Posted on April 29, 2021 by Mary Beth Frezon

Mom texts me to say
she’s resting after gardening.
she’s been out since eight
turning soil
filling and emptying
the rusty old wheelbarrow
scarfing around plants
she put in early this year.
Now resting happily.
I put my feet into my sandals
taking my first sip of coffee.

Trying to keep up
with mom on the day to day
at times, exhausting

Later in the day Fedex delivered my new Dutch Oven – now cooking can be like weight-lifting!
