Purple and orange

flowers dance beside the road

waving hello and goodbye.

That squirrel hurled himself

at the door, outraged that his

morning meal had been delayed.

Knox is watching over me

as I slowly begin to heal,

occasionally bringing me

a toy or offering me his paw.

 Sensing my frustration,

he even reprimanded the cats

for demanding to be fed

and does his best to shield me

from those ever-present squirrels.

Sometimes we can see

better when our eyes are closed

than when they’re open.

Let’s take a break from

our worries to take in

Spring’s bright blossoming.

JDG

Tiny bits of sun

have fallen onto our lawn

and put down their roots.

JDG

March’s offerings in Virginia

snow, ice, sleet, tornadoes, rain

and temperatures in the twenties

and eighties. Variety is nice, but

this is way too much.

JDG

Before I even

walk through the door the dogs start

barking their welcome.

JDG

Determined no seed

would go to waste, those small birds

pecked and pecked til there were none.
