This is a busy time in the garden for sure. All the mild weather has jump-started the myriad chores. With my garden’s Open Day less than a month away, it’s all hands on deck and no PTO! Though I do sneak in time to admire, inhale and revel in the spring flowers abounding everywhere.
With so much planting, potting, pruning and primping going on, I didn’t want April to get away without penning a poem. It is after all, National Poetry Month.
A Garden Is Waiting
A garden is waiting
In a simple seed
A blade of grass
The scent of a flower
The whistle of a reed
Quietly, patiently
A garden is waiting
-Shobha Vanchiswar
Wishing everyone days of satisfying garden work and may each day be a celebration.
