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
