I sat staring at the screen but the words would not come,
it was as though the rainy weather outside my window was shutting off my writing,
many thoughts flashed through my mind of what had recently transpired,
the things I had managed to accomplish around the house these last few days,
like installing new leaf guards on all of the gutters and blowing off the roof that had the usual collection of fall leaves,
or installing a four gallon water heater under the sink,
to help out the existing one which, like the owner, is getting old
and now I have instant hot water,
if I could wind back the years like I just fixed the hot water
life would be grand.
