I can't wait
until the Lilacs bloom,
as the scent of the flower
permeates the sunroom.

The color of purple
flowers in bloom,
will make the season,
and have less gloom.

"It's that time of year again! Acorns have been popping up all over the place. This is a sign of a "mast year," which happens when trees produce an unusually high amount of nuts and fruits. Mast years are important because they provide food for animals and birds, and also help with seed dispersal". But why and how do trees do it? More at The Conversation ➜

Out the window,
through the pane,
seeing the storms,
seeing the rain.

Funny in words,
some are so trite,
people out walking.
Somethings not right.

Rain splattered windows,
windblown rain.
Stay dry this day,
do I need to explain?

Dark was the night,
pale was the Moon.
A burst of light,
which ended too soon.

The wind sprays,
rain onto my face,
down my neck,
all over the place.

Attempting to plant
bulbs for Spring,
as they grow.
Oh, the colors they will bring.

The Sun rose slowly,
in the Eastern sky.
"No rain in sight",
was the well-known cry.

At last, we could
tape and paint,
the outside walls,
to a blue faint.

Rocks, slippery with moss,
strown along a creek bed,
are difficult to walk on.
Please don't fall on you head.

Long are the nights,
short now, the days,
as Fall slides into Winter,
tree leaves turn to orange-blaze.

Coldness, puts plants to rest.
Time to pull old foilage
and to plant perennials,
for Winter's new page.

When light fades gently
in a sunset bright,
it won't be long until,
we have slipped into night.

Dark nights bring forth
the beautiful starlight.
What joy when the Moon
appears bringing Moonlight.

The sky had a purplish hue,
mixed with sunbeam rays.
It was a beautiful setting
for the past several days.
