Early in the morning, I dutifully gazed up at the stars and located Orion, who is a bit askew this time of year. I chopped the tall seed heads from the yucca because aphids and boring insects had made them ugly and desiccated. I unearthed and removed both smooth and jagged stones from the soil in the asparagus bed. I washed a few starry dishes and sealed a few windows in preparation for autumn. I kissed my girl, searched my backyard for that fugitive in Pennsylvania, and swept the kitchen floor.
Full
disclosure: kissing my girl is not a chore.
