Hosta Heaven

The lovely blooms

of the Hosta

~

Where the Petals Fall

The slightest breeze

and down they fell

still so vibrant

in pinks and white

these peony petals

now sprinkled on the ground

~

In the Wild

Brightening up the forest

Heavenly scented honeysuckle

Here For Such a Short While

 Peonies all

in full bloom

Capturing the moment

to stir the memory

when faded away

~

Last Light

Glowing softly

in the afternoon light

~

Pink Perfection

The Peony

one of those

truly true

perfections

of nature

~

Remember Me

In my garden of pink

roses and peonies

intertwined

this little leaf rested

saying in a quiet hush

remember me

~

Quiet Moments

To pause

to see

the wonders of nature

~

Little Kaleidoscopes

The beautiful colors

and heavenly scent

of the honeysuckle

 intensify into awesome dreaminess

under rainy skies

~

Raindrops Keep Falling

Rain showers are making

outdoor adventures difficult

but interesting

~

In Remembrance of Flight 804

For the souls lost

and loved ones in sorrow

My heart hurts for all

~

After the Rain

Sunlight

Raindrops

and a Rose

~

Tiny Treasures

Living along the forest edge

are clusters of these

happy little wildflowers

Mt St Helens on Her Anniversary

On May 18, 1980 

Mt St Helens violently erupted

We live in her shadow

and in an unexplainable way

made her our own

Painting the Rhodies Red

Heavenly

Wildflower Tales

Scrunch down low

and you just might hear

tales told in soft whispers

of fairies pixies and sprites

who come play on their petals

and take shelter from

 afternoon rains

~

Among the Many

Everywhere

there are Rhododendrons

bursting with color

So numerous

their charm and beauty

often get

lost in the crowd

~

May to September

Golden leaves of

Autumn past

still adorn my

Spring gardens

~

Rose Fever

A rose by design

is still 

a rose

Delightful Wonders

Wandering our woodlands

talking with the wildflowers

Honeysuckle Dreams

Filling the air

with intoxicating charm

and beauty

Wildflowers in the Wilds

In the far reaches of our

jungly yard

wildflowers grow

~

Always a Wonder

Always changing

never knowing

what wonders we'll discover

as we climb ever nearer

to her beauty

Mt St Helens

~

Little Sweeties

Candytufts

Tiny treasures

brightening my

disheveled garden

~

A Bit of Blue

Ah those irresistible

Bluebells

~

I Heard Her Calling

With a sprinkling of new snow

to freshen her up

Mt St Helens

speaks to my soul

~

Wild Roses

In early May

these charmingly disheveled

lovelies

grace our world

Short lived

but oh so sweet

~

May Day

Whispers of warmer weather

Promises of longer days

filled with sunshine

Rejoice the Spring
