Looking for something to do
just what it is I haven’t a clue
as my eye has not yet perceived the task
and nothing springs to mind that lasts
the weather is too damn hot for work
with the temperatures at one hundred degrees
and everything outside working fine
with nothing pressing my time to assign
I feed the fish in the early morn
and check that everything works fine
and if it isn’t I add the task
to fix whatever is well-worn
the problem is there is too much heat
and has been like this for way too long
and all of the things that need repair
cannot keep as their need is strong
it seems to me I have little choice
but to go outside even though it is hot
to work as quickly as I can
and when I am finished I’m a happy man.
It’s always nice having a job finished whether it was big or small. As I read this, it is the first cool day that we’ve had. Yay! It’s about time!
A cool day and we are not hiking. Go figure…
Heat can be rough on Koi and Goldfish, oxygen-wise. I’m sure you know about how warm water holds less oxygen. Heat’s rough on humans too.
Yes, I run oxygenators in my ponds 24/7 when it is so hot. I cut them back when things cool down.
