Hungry

The dish pile grows on the counter

The row of dahlia needs weeding

The kale is ready to be harvested

The well pump kicked out again

The tomatoes need trellising

The marigold should be netted by now

The zinnia should be pinched

The chickens are in the neighbor's yard (again)

The dog ate the chickens' poop (again)

The chickens ate the cats' food (again)

The honeysuckle has taken over the trail

The peppers are ready to be weaved

The deer ate more sunflowers

The monarda is struggling

The rooster won't leave that one hen alone

The excavation crew needs to reschedule

The house desperately needs a vacuum

The electric bill is due

The laundry still hasn't been put away

The compost needs to be turned

The squirrels emptied the bird feeder

The chickens need more grit

My plate is full

But I came here to eat
