breakfast and a view

breakfast and a view
of the gardens
work at the kitchen sink
and by the window
words as I look outside
“green garden rain”
daylilies begin to form
their flowers
peonies in the area
bow to needed rain
beautiful gardens
in all their growth
and changes
over time
once upon a time – and today
once upon a time
my mother and I spent
so much time
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I remember her love
of flowers and all the colors
and the Bridal Wreath
bushes in bloom
once upon a time
love grows and endures
my great lesson
and hope
and gifts from
the seasons and yard
every year
My poem is from June 25, 2019. I am watching the day begin, heard a bird song, and the Bridal Wreath bush we planted some time ago is growing well in a new Spring.

review – 2
early poems
and new gifts
of trying to write
in a new way
setting aside often
for all the right reasons
and then renewal
over time
not a clue
that blogs were
in my future
and would offer
the world to me
These are garden photos by Karl, from spring and summer this year. I look forward to every day and season. Take good care.

May garden
daffodils bloom
through the night


The begonia planter continues to bloom.

mid-July
daylilies and hosta
tell the time
