The sky’s growing dark —
time for the daily cloudburst

Cool day lies ahead—
can take a break from frantic

know they’re on the way–poking
through the dirt. Hello!

Deer delicately
reached over the fence and snacked
on my bee balm leaves.

wished my garden was ten times

I yearn for the rain
(as do the gardens and trees).
Depressing weather.

Young mourning dove trapped
in the back fenced-in garden.
Mom paced back and forth.

Why didn’t I plant
things yesterday? Oh, that’s right.
It will snow again.

with renewed vigor.
