memories of neighbors
and their gardens
lilacs

lilac bushes
with fading leaves
in Fall sun
beautiful today
with no worries
about whether or not
they will bloom
again
Poem from October 2014 – times I can create, times I need to rest and be patient. Good care, one day at a time.

tall lilacs in bloom
tall lilacs in bloom
weathered now
branches reach down
to the ferns

purple and white lilacs
purple and white lilacs
grow tall and bloom
so well above
the cedar fence
bright sun
in the morning garden

early June morning
early June morning
pelicans fly over the water
a deer walks through the yard
new carnations
in an old glass vase
by the window
poinsettia and lily plants
placed by the back patio door
only yesterday
and still in the house
new green
on evergreen branches
an image loved for years
the small new growth
and lilacs bloom

garden notes
birch tree branch
outside my study
window
many new leaves
and another part
of the branch
that seems gone
yet visited by a bird
this morning

lilacs almost in bloom
and violets by the door
