Gardens and Gratitude
grateful today
for perennials
that grow and bloom
through so many
different years
the wildflowers
we did not plant
yet found a place here
the formal gardens
we see in the area
and their serene beauty
what work there must be
to offer this view
as we drive by on our way
home
yard work
water
for the begonia
and hosta petals
on the lawn
small vase of daylilies
for the sunroom
goldenrod grows tall
above the windowsill
bees, butterflies, and
hummingbirds visit
by the windows
daylilies begin
daylilies begin
to bloom in sun
all the years
they grow, flower,
wait through winter
and return again
Karl has taken great care with the hosta and lilies through the years. They grow close to our old house. We keep the path to the back door clear, which means a few bouquets for the house. We have a well, and do not water the gardens. What is there grows well.
June Garden 2021
Karl and I enjoyed some sunny time in the yard. He planted the lily plants from Meijers in Sheboygan, the red geranium from Windmill Gardens in Cedar Grove, and the hyacinth plant from Walmart this Spring. On the porch we have a new begonia planter from The Home Depot in Kohler, and a pansies planter from Walmart in Sheboygan.
Mandevilla Plant
This beautiful Mandevilla was our Summer 2019 plant by the door. We bought it at The Home Depot in Kohler, Wisconsin. Photo by Karl.
