I followed the bee
stuck my nose into flowers this morning
felt a few tears welling up
so joyful for this bit of earth
that is my garden
wild like me
untamed like I'd like to be
beautiful in her gypsy way
singing like Janis Joplin
an eclectic mix of welcome heres
bits and pieces of beauty
some planted
most just welcomed
It rained last night while I was sleeping.
I went to bed looking out my window at the clouds
wisping over the glorious crescent moon
feeling safe and loved
My Crown of Thorns is thriving in its pot in the garden
I tucked it in among the plants
I don't think it knows it isn't of the garden
don't tell
Sometimes the garden offers up a long lost flower
like this St John's Wort
that has been absent for years...and here it is
fooling me....wanting to thrive again
boy, I get this...rest assured my friend ..you are safe
and for the life of me..I cant think of this one's name
but it is a wild plant of the woods
and I love its tallness and purple flowers
yep.
Oh so beautiful, Sue. Your words and your pictures. And is that a little collaged book you made? hehe

What a wonderful way to describe your garden.
Lovely photos of a garden that is well loved.
thanks Farmlady....I suspect a bit of gypsy in you
DeleteI really enjoyed your words. Really descriptive! Witch, gypsy, mystic powers that be.....excellent. And in my solitude, I clap at the defiant return of the milkweed! The garden looks great. Hopefully more rain comes your way. Chris:)
