DAY’S END
Relaxing on the porch
with book and drink
is my reward
for persevering
through a myriad of chores.
The sharp, incessant chirp
of a nearby cardinal
makes me think
we both enjoy the rain.

I am a retired teacher who enjoys the outdoors, especially the Adirondacks. My parents took us camping when we were kids, then we attended 4-H Camp in Speculator (a former CCC camp). As an adult, I served on the Camp board for 8 years. I went to my friend's camp in Bloomingdale (Saranac) for 10 years. We enjoyed cross country skiing, canoeing, fishing, snowshoeing, etc. I still hike, cross country and downhill ski, snowshoe. I bicycle and ride a Harley. I play the organ at a 300 year old church.

Contributors include veteran local writers, historians, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the Adirondack region.

Thanks for a great poem! It started my day off with a smile. I shared it with all my friends on Facebook & TWITTER.
Thank you so much, Richard!
