May Day

[Snowwark]

A delicate fabric of bird song
Floats in the air,
The smell of wet wild earth
Is everywhere.
Oh I must pass nothing by
Without loving it much,
The raindrop try with my lips,
The grass with my touch;
For how can I be sure
I shall see again
The world on the first of May
Shining after the rain?

~ Sara Teasdale, May Day ~

What a beautiful thought!

May is such a beautiful month around here. Our early blossoming shrubs are just finishing up, our perennials are green and glorious, fat with promise of future buds!

Our iris.....their stems peeking out of the foliage, fat with color....waiting to burst upon the world!

Oh, I love May!

I have to say "Welcome Back" again. I sure have missed these inspirational sayings. They are like the sun rising each morning, with all it's promises for the day.

Thanks Kim. It's great to have you back.

I was wondering if you would start posting the garden poems again this year!

I love reading them each morning. Thanks, Kim!
