Where We Are Right Now

I kind of like where we are right now.

The big crumbling chunk of black Kentucky coal sitting by the Texas Persimmon tree. The tall-standing sunflowers beginning to bloom just as the Primrose undergrowth fades. The Monterey Oak dashing for sky with the smaller Lacey Oak beside. I kind of like this place.

There are better places, I'm sure, and better ways to tend them. The Prairie Lace in the back looks lonely and forlorn, and that Hackberry sprout needs to be pulled up again. The corner behind the compose piles is forever neglected, and the Desert Willow triumphs in what otherwise is a disaster zone. There are better places, I'm sure.

But I still kind of like this place, and I'm glad I'm here with you right now.
