Mother's not a fool
She controls when it showers
For the May flowers
4/2/2024
Wet, gray, and dreary
Steady rain fell all day long
Fallen trees have burned
4/3/2024
Cold, wet, and gloomy
Cheery, bright forsythia
Joyful allergen
4/4/2024
Snow on the mountain
Green grass here in the valley
Only miles apart
4/5/2024
Dog stood there barking
While the earth quaked and rumbled
I felt not a thing
4/6/24
A walk in the woods
Exploration of textures
Hiking is tactile
4/7/2024
Woke up feeling blue
Blue skies, nothing but blue skies
Oh! The change in mood
4/8/2024
It’s the end of days
Excitement, fear, and panic
The solar eclipse
4/9/2024
Birdsong in the morn
Temps rise as the day goes on
Horses need to shed
4/10/24
Oh, April showers
Grass turns green, hyacinths bloom
The well won't run dry
4/11/2024
Steely gray and dark
No sun spots for lying in
But there are blankets
4/12/2024
Wake up tamarack!
Deciduous conifer
Cover those bare bones
4/13/2024
Mix of cheer and loss
New growth meets Winter's decay
Oh, early springtime
4/14/2024
The scent of spring rain
Mix of dirt and hyacinths
Carried on the wind
4/15/2024
Hands plunged into soil
Feeling damp, cold, and alive
Heart warmed by hard work
4/16/2024
White cherry blossoms
Delicate and inviting
Sign of things to come.
4/17/2024
Leaves are springing forth
Delicate green and red buds
Hope for the future
4/18/2024
Do not look, just draw
Connect the brain and hand
Make art and fun
4/19/2024
Sweep up the loose hay
If you waste not, you want not
Elbow-grease and time
4/20/24
A walk in the woods
Nothing better than friendship
Wondering along
4/21/2024
Bones scattered somewhere
Scavengers picked them all clean
A bodiless skull
4/22/2024
Wild forsythia
Growing where a homestead stood
Mother Nature won
4/23/2024
Feline’s jungle gym
Four decades felled in one day
Breathe deep, accept change
4/24/2024
Dainty size, big heart
A lap is a safe haven
Loyal companion
4/25/2024
Gobble, Gobble, Gob
Tom and his hens rule the road
Move along people
4/26/2024
Early morning hike
On a quest to see eagles
Found only beauty
4/27/2024
New springs buds appear
Soon to provide summer shade
Shagbark hickory
4/28/2024
Crab apple blossoms
Sweet scents spread over pastures
Bees contently buzz
4/29/2024
The lawn is perfect
Specked with purple and yellow
Happy honey bees
4/30/2024
Warmer and longer
Last day is better than first
More time to cuddle
