ALL'S NOT QUIET

I spent some time one recent Sunday morning basking in the quiet of the day. It did not last long, of course, for everyone is so busy they end up doing some yard work on Sunday since they aren't able to do it all on Saturday because there is shopping and soccer and a bunch of other things that need doing. A lot of that is carry over from the week when no one is able to get it all done for they are too busy with work and such.
The mowers, edgers, chain saws and tractors usually begin to crank up in my neck of the woods around about 11 on Sunday. They go pretty good the rest of the day. A "peaceful" Sunday is a thing of the past.
Too bad, for me and for those using the power equipment; none of us get our proper time off. It's part of the hefty price we pay in the name of progress.
