[Mike]

Heilsa,

Clouds with wind
Sun peeking from within
Gazing upon one and all
"Bears" out as always
The usual fare was not
Flowers of blue present
  Yet few and still fewer
Those who deal in maze of
  Hermann Miller
Present grilling flesh
While building arose anew from
Grass land that was flat
Along with the temperature to 87
Least we forget the humidity to 60's
Still, cooling breeze
The shade made all welcome
Including those from of Northern Territories
Who stopped by to watch and wonder
