Acrostic poem for MIDWEST

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations

different shapes
of the rose bush
and lilacs in the yard
they grew towards
the light

Inspiration: Snowdrops

·

What a good year for the snowdrops. They grow and endure, and return each year. The first flowers in our yard. They picture a kind word, a small poem, everyday blessings. A post in my Reader, a devotional book from a thrift store, and a small plant by the window. I do not know when they first grew and bloomed in the gardens, and we have been here a long time.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Take good care. Karl and I continue to take good care too.

Today we received our 2021 Vehicle Admission Sticker for the Wisconsin State Park System. Karl ordered it online. We enjoy being senior citizens and look forward to being outside more in Spring.
