The sky invites
The sycamores to dance.
Bare branches
Bend and sway
Curtsying to one another
In proper fashion.
Meanwhile the leaves have flown.
They turn up around back
Loitering by the steps,
Rabble rousing and wild dancing…
Waiting for the night wind
to whisk them away.
I’m very thankful that the leaves in the country don’t require raking, piling, bagging, and stacking. The night wind just whisks them away…
This is reposted from November three years ago, because, yeah, leaves…
The best, absolute best, thing that you can do for your peace of mind right now is to go plant some seeds.
I can absolutely testify to this; vitamin D is necessary to your physical health and your emotional well being.
Cut your long winter fingernails and stick your hands in the dirt.
Sunflower seeds that were missed by the birds, sprouted, and got transplanted into a straight line in the sun.
Gardening is hope for the future.
Is it too early for peach blossoms? I hope not.
Gardening is planting seeds of joy.
Future spot of spinach, mixed lettuces, and beets…
And gardening in pots on your back porch, side porch, front porch counts too… This is the year to plant those seeds of hope.
I’m adding a link for those of you who might be new to sticking your hands in the dirt. It’s a great resource. Victory gardens 2020!
