Learning to Love

The table that needs sanding and painting,

the concrete post in the wrong place,

the nest in my potting shed,

the wheel-less barrow,

the fountain the pigs twisted out of shape,

the warped stable door that won't close properly,

the temporary barricade,

the saplings in the crew yard that are becoming trees,

the container for nettles,

the unhung door, 

the rusty trough,

the worrying lintel,

the Fliteless mower,

the structural problems,

the gap between the roof and the wall,

the rubble,

the embedded plough, and 

the washing up.
