I've been thinking about time lately. Perhaps it's because I'm reading THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH ("As you can see, that leaves almost no time for brooding, lagging, plodding, or procrastinating, and if we stopped to think or laugh, we'd never get nothing done.") yet again. Or maybe it's just that as another school year comes to an end, I'm wondering where the time is going.
So, as I'm thinking about time, here's a bit of E. E. Cummings that seemed appropriate.

I spent the whole day yesterday doing housework and yard work. Every time I finished a job I went and sat on my porch or out on the patio and just sat for a while, enjoying the spring day. The kids were busy with a lemonade stand and it was so happy & green & peaceful in the neighborhood. Forgot about the clocks! So refreshing!
