In my mind...
the big red "boat" of a car is still sitting under the overhang.
they are both lounging in the greenhouse with the little space ray heater going and sipping mate.
there's a lingering smell of garlic in the air of their livingroom.
she's loading and unloading the washing machine....
he's creating some concoction in the kitchen with spinach and eggs and leftovers from the night before.
she's pushing the mower fast and hard across the lawn.
he's elbow deep in grease fixing a tractor.
she's clipping lettuce from the garden for a salad for lunch.
he's lounging in his blue chair with the TV blaring... usually boxing or futbol or CNN.
she's sweeping the driveway.... there's always so many leaves!!!
he's listening to a monetone voiced pastor preach the gospel on some old cassett tape.
she's vaccuming, banging into every piece of furniture in her way.
he's putzing on his computer and calling me for how-to advice.
she's bent over in half weeding her gardens.
he's lighting the BBQ at 9am for an afternoon BBQ with his family.
she's feeding the cats... for the 5th time today.
