Poem for her 880

Dear Readers,


Porch Cooking

Out there on the Kitchen side
The porch has a stone oven
We had picked lots of stones
Here and there
Brought them back to the cabin

Some made it here
Around the outside of the summer oven
Not just a grill
Not just an oven
Not just for food
Yet for food

The design was Outdoor Kitchen
Wood driven at times
Other times not
Always under cover
Shielded from the snow

The card games
Over hot tea
Lunch served hot breads
Breakfast grilled cheese
Any little thing we wanted
Out on the porch

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
