Domestic Labor

Happy Labor Day! It's a gorgeous day here, perfect for a parade. The heat has lifted, the sky is blue, and there's a light breeze. We have family wamily in town: kids home from college and work, brother and his wife in from the west coast, visiting lots of family around here. So various pleasant gatherings going on. A holiday with bits of domestic labor, which, of course, never stops!

Here is a parade of poems, up for the holiday at Escape Into Life. With photography by Monika Nguyen. How about that mysterious and delightful cow?
