Welcome Home

after a hard day's work, a refuge

from the rest of the world-

tiger lilies and you

all is quiet on a woodsy path- 

but for rustling leaves

and a bird's song

a flower is born in the sky

and so am I, alive and thriving

amidst greens and blues

deeply rooted among rocks-

looking upward, the climb is hard

but how worth is the view

geraniums will grow again

in the sunshine, with a little love

a little hope and a lot of gratitude

Hi everyone! As I mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I moved to a new home in the countryside of New York. I'm sharing today some pictures from my backyard and accompanying haiku. We have a weathered wooden bench where tiger lilies have bloomed next to it. A little path leads into the woods where pink rhododendron have blossomed. There are rocks up the hill and lots of trees and everything is green and luscious now as we've had quite a bit of rain. I planted geraniums in a terracotta pot and I'm patiently waiting for them to bloom. I hope you enjoy my poetry and photos and I wish you all a Happy Fourth of July weekend! xx
