lilac bushes
draped in mist
the scent of spring

lilac bushes
draped in mist
the scent of spring

lying in the grass
beneath a blue-sky sun
I try not to remember
last summer’s bull snake

I’ve been meaning to do this for years. Hubby hated the standing water, the mosquitoes, the whole look of this thing so I had him drill draining holes at the bottom and voila! Instant planter for this isolated area of our backyard.
Come on, sweet potato vines. Do your thing!!
And now Mr. Hedge Hog has a new home….
christening the new grill
pork chops & asparagus
planting flowers for dessert

petals of cornflower blue
push aside autumn’s debris
a young child signals her delight

trees & shrubs
dotted in green
the world
is new again

emptied pack
of fruit-stripe gum
colors more vivid
when I was a kid
