Grab my shunned cookbooks
Replace summer’s swelter with
Steam from homemade bread

The local Greek fest
Brings diverse groups to the house
Yet quite connected

Free range discussion
Flowed through our neighbor’s backyard
Our work week stayed home

Across the table
We summarized our summers
Time told in moments

A text, then giggle
Our meeting drifted away
Need to do that more

Yard in play after
Summer hijacked the weather
Autumn can start now

My Labor Day hope
Crisp days after summer’s wrath
But it never left

Woke to white-filled yard
Teens play with toilet paper
Far from COVID’s drought

The surprise visit
A lost social tradition
Natural life wins

Our 3-day weekend
Slides slowly into our day
Imagined fireworks
