The Shade Garden

Lorna



A little shade

A little glade

Away from South exposure

Variegated leaves brighten

All the darkest corners

The lilies at the ends will bloom

In contrast to their brothers

A happy family indeed

Including this their gardener

    springtime!

  • Fay Slimm.

    You make that garden so inviting dear Lorna -shade in high heat is your little glade - - love the number too that you chose to illustrate the verse.

    • Lorna

      Thank you Fay....... the bird bath is still frozen this morning..... surely this isn't normal..... soon enough it will probably be too hot and I'll complain about that! (I'll try not to)............

      Skilfully drafted and what an idyllic looking spot - may it soon welcome you again

      Very happy family indeed.

      A fine write Lorna. You is waiting for that Spring sunshine to be warm enough for you to dash to that shade! I bet you won't complain if it's 100 degrees - Fahrenheit that is!
