We'd build a little Bungalow

This weeks SPT: Water. The first thing that came to my mind was one of my favorite Dorothy Parker poems.

Day Dreams
We'd build a little bungalow

If you and I were one,

And carefully we'd plan it so

We'd get the morning sun.

I'd rise each morn at rosy dawn

And bustle gaily down;

In evening's cool, you'd spray the lawn

When you came back from town...

Ryan's summer obsession is the lawn. He can and does spend hours fiddling with the sprinklers getting them just right. We don't have a sprinkler system so he's always coming up with different ways to water it. This is his latest contraption he's built. He's headed to California for the weekend for a wedding so guess who is getting stuck keeping the grass green or else.

Wish me luck! I had major malfunctions just trying to get this shot. If it were up to me all the time the front yard would probably look like our backyard, which will not be pictured here.

...If you and I were one, my dear,

A higher life we'd lead;

We'd travel on, from year to year,

At no increase of speed.

Ah, clear to me the vision of

The things that we should do!

And so I think it best, my love,

To string along as two.

*Dorothy Parker use to be a lot more poignant to me when I was bitter and single.
