Portrait of A Wild Garden

Neville

Portrait of A Wild Garden

 

I wasted so much of spring

thinking about

starting work on the garden,

before I knew it ..

Between the bees, the birds

and the summer ..

They had all, beaten me to it ..

    • Neville



      No, I went camping instead

    • Thomas W Case

      They will do that. I could use some birds and bees. Good stuff.

        Procrastination is my middle name......

        Plus I have an abiding preference for an unmanicured garden.

        Unblushingly confessional in tidy form, , , , ,

          Your folks had a great sense of irony didn't they .. thank you Dave

          • Doggerel Dave

            Not sure about my folks.... unless the irony was in producing me... only later did they work out what to call me....

            They certainly do so in my garden Neville.

              Good to hear, but just as I imagined .. Neville

              There is something rather lovely about a wild garden and it certainly attracts the birds, bees and butterflies. Maybe relax, gardening is hard work. Nothing wrong in watching the world drift by now and then. Good Saturday morning to you Neville.

                    LOL-Spring beats us to it! I had to visit for a while and see that the “bees and the birds” are still busy doing their thing. May the wind spread your seeds (of poetry) in all forms of wild gardens…
