Congratulations on Poem #100. It does live up to your goal of a happy poem but it's not a passive kind of happiness - these people are actively creating the good mood for each other.I could really feel the atmosphere of Louisiana through your words. I like the three-fold inhalations of the sub-tropical air by the house, by your mother and grandmother and finally their breathing in joy. The line THE HOUSE'S MOUTH IS GAPED WIDE makes it seem the house itself is smiling. The last three lines bring wonderful closure!

Let me be the first one to applaud your 100th poem Nika! Congratulations on your first century! Beautiful poem! Such scenes of sweet domestcity, I love! How your mother and grand mother make a joyful pair! When there is nice company and jovial chit chat, the tedium of the work will disappear. In a small poem you have captured the width and breadth of a mother- daughter relatioship!
