Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. While picnicking at Banks Lake, I wondered what had been installed next to the posts by the lake edge of the park. LOL. It was napping geese. Can you see them?
I am thankful for our mild weather, in the 80s and 90s, a typical summer. Next week it’s supposed to be the same, then return to heat. In the Eastern United States and elsewhere around the world, heat domes have created dangerous conditions for people. It could last through August! [CNN].
My husband says it’s like the earth is a pot starting to boil: it starts by getting hotter in different places in the pot. But soon, the whole pot is boiling, an extinction event for earth.

Poetry
By the Lake
By the lake
Posts mark the edge,
A slope to the shoreBy the posts
Geese nap in sunshine,
A spot near escapeBy the trees

Picnickers enjoy the shade,
A view to the geese and the waves.
