the hot tub filled.
Farm-share potatoes
(lovingly placed in paper bags)
line the basement steps.

Coat hooks fully occupied.
Carpet of leaves raked to the curb.
Salads swapped for soups;
assorted squash baked
(still more decorate the counter).
Tomato pots and red wheel barrel
take shelter in the garage.
