Sarah is indefatigable.
There are no days off here,
just a Hydra-like to-do list
where for every item crossed
off, two more take its place.
She was going to fly solo
today but I volunteered to
help install signs at Heinz,
then to Trenton for damage
control on slumping strawbale
garden where unseasonable
hot temperatures coupled
with drenching storms have
sped up the anticipated decay
of The Future Is Open Ended.
It got cloudy but the heat and
humidity were oppressive
as Sarah launched into the
Sisyphean task of lifting,
padding, and rebracing
dozens of rotting bales.
It's tiring just watching
her, but I did pitch in.
