This morning Maggie wanted an early start to the day
So once we finished breakfast we headed outdoors
While working in the yard I was once again amazed
By this white rose that greets me each day

While working in the garden during the cool of the day
I was able to meet my new neighbors
For those who are new to our old neighborhood
I have a tradition of baking cookies or bread
I have been hesitant to bake for they have a young daughter
Mary Beth at first said it was too much bother
But I explained it was a tradition
We settled on brownies as the perfect welcome

Than lo and behold a Police car appeared
Where I was busy pulling at the weeds
It was my friend Keith who was on the way to a call
We chatted for a bit before he had to go

It was not long before my green can was compacted and full
My work outside was done for the day

Now Maggie and I must decide on a color
For a sofa for us to enjoy whilst watching NASCAR
Maggie’s decided what color she liked
By laying on the samples that were spread on the floor

Words cannot describe how blessed I feel
To be able to stay in my home and not have to move
This is my home and where I will stay
