RAMBLING


LOOK CLOSELY AND SEE THE GOLDFINCH
ROBINS DO EAT SEEDS, DEAR HUSBAND
I HAVE PROOF
AND BELOW...WHAT'S BLOOMING IN MY OPENBAR OF JOY
 
 
 

OH...WITCHIE-POO
SHE HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME
...SORT OF A DARK SIDE THING
AS LIFE HAS...YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE


AND THE ROSE
THIS ONE ...MY DAUGHTER AND I RESCUED
FROM AN URBAN CEMENT AND GRASS LOVER 


AH THIS MORNING'S LIGHT
I WAS UP AT 5;30 AM
FINISHED PUTTING IN A FEW PERRENIALS
NO MORE..I TELL MYSELF
YOU ARE GETTING TOO OLD
AND WHO REALLY CARES
BUT YOU....ENOUGH
BUT EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL IN MORNING LIGHT
IT WASHES OVER EVERYTHING WITH NEWNESS
A NEW DAY GIVEN
A GIFT FROM GOD
LIVE IT SUZ


I SAVED THIS YELLOW TRILLIUM FROM THE BULLDOG
ONE OF MY PRECIOUS WOODLANDS

AS IS JACK IN THE PULPIT

AND GOLDENSEAL

I LOOKED UP THIS MORNING AFTER FINDING
A TULIP ON THE GROUND
THAT JACK!  (SQUIRREL)
THAT JACK..ISN'T IT BAD ENOUGH HE ATE
ALMOST EVERY BLOSSOM OFF OF THE HORSECHESTNUT TREE
WHICH I AM CERTAIN IS WHY I HAVEN'T SEEN A BALTIMORE ORIOLE THIS YEAR
BUT NOW...HE'S WORKING ON MY TULIP TREE
GOODNESS!

AND THEN THERE IS THE WOOD FAIRY
SHE'S OLD AND FALLING APART
AND I UNDERSTAND HER CONDITION
AND STILL LOVE HER IN MY GARDEN
...SOMEDAY WE MAY BOTH JUST
FADE AWAY
IN THE GARDEN THAT WE LOVE
 
JOY

  1. oh! those blues!
    she is smiling wide and kind,
    your garden,
    and it's a pleasure
    to ramble along with you
    and share in her beautiful way.
    thank you,
    Jennifer

  2. I like your rambles:) Robins DO eat seed:) The also eat date palms off our trees here and get drunk and fly into everything. Quite the sight. You're not too old:) You're just right! And you do a great job in your garden....love all the flowers. And imagine Jack not being around to pester you....it would be quite boring. Of course Harry might be elsewhere waiting...:) I like the fairy falling apart....adds a lot character. We have a photo shoot at 6 tonight on Mexican bats....and it's 104 degrees outside right now.....yeah....it's going to be a hot one. Look forward to cooler temps in a couple weeks:)

      Mexican bats? We have bats in Galena, Il
      they are tiny
      Remember to drink water

  6. Interesting that you feel the need to justify your 'witchie poo'; I don't think of witches as evil, rather I see them as a symbol of female empowerment, an embracing of our crone years. As I am past sixty, I am certainly a crone...and when I look back on some of the dumb things I did when I was young, I feel very blessed to have gotten this far, lol.

    Your flowers are beautiful!

    1. AH VICTORIA...I LIKE THAT! AND YES WITCHES AREN'T ALL EVIL....IN FACT I BELIEVE THEY ARE MOSTLY EARTHY WOMEN OF HERBS AND HEALING AND HONORING NATURE
      CRONE....YEAH THAT WOULD BE ME TOO....62 IN DECEMBER
      WE SHOULD HANG OUT TOGETHER
      THANKS FOR THE VISIT
