Labour Day

taranaki-065-medium.jpg

Labour Day weekend doesn’t vary too much the world over,

although here marking a different season and intercepted with a “u.” 

Seemingly for all….

Watching the forecast, anxious that it’s deserving of a long weekend.

Groans and protests when it isn’t.

Roadtrips mapped, accommodations booked, plans shared eagerly on Friday.

Alarm clocks silenced, computers shut down,

Expectation for 3 days impregnated with equal parts relaxation and fun.

For me…

Freedom of a rental car–“Rent a Dent” so endearingly reminiscent of my US “Rent a Wreck.”

Roadtrips mapped, and remapped, and written (since directions aren’t my strength).

Weather forecasts proved gloriously wrong as never-seen mountains make themselves seen.

Beach combing, inhaling green through the windshield, wind and a new sunburn,

All expectations are met. 

Alarm clocks reset, computers booted up, events shared eagerly on Monday. 

[P.S.  Finally a few new pics on Flickr; sorry for the laziness.]
