Psalms to pray
and poems to read
sun on seawalls
taking care each day
now and for the future

Sparrows
Karl and I have seen many sparrows in our yard. I wondered about Winter birds in Wisconsin and discovered eek! Environmental Education for Kids, and their article, Winter Birds Birds found in Wisconsin over winter. I searched from the Wisconsin DNR site.
Then I thought of a poem:
small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard
“Ash Tree Management”
When I visited the Town of Holland Sheboygan County – Wisconsin site yesterday, I saw they have “Information about Ash Tree Management in the Town of Holland.”
They link to ROOTS “Restoration of Our Trees – Sheboygan.”
My poem, Seasons, is from October 24, 2019.
SEASONS
once the tree grew tall
before the Emerald Ash Borer
and then a storm
hosta plants
grew green again
around the stump
in Spring
they grew large
and flowered well
so blessed by rain
and a red begonia planter
now there is an
orange pumpkin
on the ash tree stump
and hosta leaves are gold
in the brilliant morning sun

sun through leaves
sun through leaves
after rain in the morning
ribbons of navy blue
and turquoise
in the water
The turquoise images are from the rocks minerals category at wpclipart. I have also looked to boxes of crayons for words to describe the colors of Lake Michigan.
Images
reflection of the lamp
in the window
and evergreens
covered with snow
peaceful blessings
of routine work
and time to read
my reward for a time
poetry journals
and books
by my chair
and on shelves
mandevilla plant
lives in the sunroom now
surely one of the stars
in the yard this year
And so happy we were able to walk by The Sheboygan River at Kiwanis Park again this year (Sheboygan, Wisconsin).
