Sitting on the garden fence
Perky as can be
rain peppering the patio rapidly
Sitting tall
rain sliding off her easily
she was thinking ‘earthworm’, I’ll bet!
As our rich black soil soaked it in
the loam will surface the worms
oh, fat and juicy!
Filet de earth!
made for each other?
Our farm is home to light touches
the master gardener grooms
planting, caring for certain areas
flowers and shrubs and even trees
each in turn flowering, coloring
blessing we humans who abide
welcoming those who have wings
Baltimore Orioles stop by
as many other species do
Just for a visit
just for their time
before winging on their ways
Each and every one is welcome
we enjoy their visits
it even seems sometimes
they note our happiness to see them
Tiny creatures, so vulnerable
yet surviving, multiplying
fluttering about with abandon
some planting themselves here
nesting
Ah, we’ve nested here!
Settled down
hustling waning
nap times expanding
more often ‘setting’
soaking it all in
Becoming more like
the robins in the rain!
Springtime on the farm 2015, Lin and Kay and Kate, for the birds!
