6 steam locomotives have been loaded on the fore deck. It seems the tenders can be seen on the poop deck.

There’s room to grow in times of sun if we’ll open our petals out. Instead we tend to reach when shrouds of weeds and thorns have overrun

as if our growth has just begun. Need we suffer to become stout? There’s room to grow in times of sun if we’ll open our petals out.

Hot days, cold bar stools, warm tea, and a blanket of burble wrapped around soft smiles and close company as the  day ebbs into  the loose, warm embrace of evening.

And, as the season slips through fall and leaves from  sleepy trees tumble into the air so, too, does laughter whirl about in here.
