we drove over to Portsmouth
did tourist things
in the gardens at Prescott Park
visited an ancient cemetery
where the most memorable granite marker
read:
"she was an amiable consort. . . "
it saddened me
which of us would be known as
amiable' unto eternity
our favorite farmer
bemoaned the tomato blight
(the same one that caused the Irish potato famine)
and we felt lucky to get our 20 pounds
for cooking and freezing
picnic lunch
on Great Island
watched
lobster boats &
pleasure boats
on the Piscataqua
and
artists painting
au plein aire
children
scampering
laughing
calling
so many photo opps
but i forgot the camera!
