Such a perfect day
Enjoying it on my deck
Then it starts to rain
The perfect day ends with me
Not having to water deck flowers

Guardians of the Meadow
Twilight.
Curious sight.
Songbirds are gathering
Like sentries upon the high wires.
Such chatter!
Crows scatter
As the feathered army increases.
A line of defense
Upon the wires.
Bird war!

Summer’s Sunset
The sky is ablaze
The horizon streaks orange
Summer sun is setting

Blue Moon
Blue moon shines tonight
A big bright light in the sky
I am thrilled to see

Eventide
The sun sets among
Purple mountain majesties
Our Flag waves goodnight

Early Fall?
Maples are turning.
I see red, yellow, orange.
It’s too soon! Too soon!

Today’s Choice
Cloudy
Rain predicted
Alarm clock is beeping
I awake and choose to sleep in
Good choice

Pollinators
White butterflies flutter
In and out of the meadow
Competing with bees

Goodbye July
Flying in the breeze at sunset tonight.
The days of July are coming to a close,
We have come to the end of its last day.
The sun has set on another month.
Summer is quickly running away…

Dew Like Diamonds
Under the old shade tree
In places where the sun peeks through
The morning dew shines
It sparkles like diamonds
Scattered on a green carpet
