It's no secret that I use my blog as an excuse to avoid doing less pleasant tasks. Like writing an inquiry unit for a class I'm taking. It doesn't matter that I just can't think of how to teach prefixes and suffixes using the inquiry method when the sun is shining on a perfectly good day off.
un + enthusiastic = "I don't want it!" (Annie, age 3)
power + less = you can't make me
So, I practice avoidance behavior. Whenever I can. And here's proof:
#1. I didn't blog all summer.
But who would want to blog to avoid these guys?

Laundry
All our life
so much laundry;
each day's doing or not
comes clean,
flows off and away
to blend with other sins
of this world. Each day
begins in new skin,
blessed by the elements
charged to take us
out again to do or undo
what's been assigned.
From socks to shirts
the selves we shed
lift off the line
as if they own
a life apart
from the one we offer.
There is joy in clean laundry.
All is forgiven in water, sun
and air. We offer our day's deeds
to the blue-eyed sky, with soap and prayer,
our arms up, then lowered in supplication.

Yeah, Annie, I agree. No wonder he's got his eyes closed!
'Bout time you posted pics of the grandbabies. And blogged. And avoided unpleasant behaviors (which I know you rarely do).
