Another spring
to bring
tender growth
exuberant blooms
longer days of light.
And now we wait
for the sun to dominate
each day and say
clouds and rain, go away!

I have this adorable antique chalkboard I keep on the kitchen counter—a great item to keep an eye out for at second hand stores.

Originally, I thought I would use it for a grocery list, but that didn’t happen. I enjoy writing poetry on it inspired by my garden and the changing seasons. It really jazzes up the kitchen! This year the beautiful forget-me-nots and the first few days of sunshine were all the encouragement I needed.
