Ok, got it done in 13 lines.
Oops, need time, day of funeral,

Do I need to put in a picture?
Decided to defer to decision to sister and Mom.
Waiting for family approval to submit.
Yard work day.
Hook Houdini Sam up.
Don't want to worry about losing him.
Get rid of the weeds, clip off dead heads, a bit of pruning,
bring out the blower, the trimmer, the lawnmower.
It's getting really hot.
Honey, why is that part of the flowerbed getting water and
this side dry?
Not my department.
We'll remember to hand water the pots.
