In the garden today…

The the corpses remain, the sunflowers with the broken necks stare down at the new seedlings taunting them that they too will soon die

Today in the garden…

The neglected grapes mourned their loss of vigor as they seem to be coming down with something terminal

Today in the garden…

The morning glories mourned their lack of love.  Every morning they put on a spectacular show for me and I’ve never once been out there early enough to see it.  By the afternoon they close up and hide from the unrelenting sun

Today in the garden…

The rosemary mourned the death of Queen, the camera shy spider and protector fending off anyone who might consider harvesting a little rosemary to go along with their dinner.

Today in the garden…

The cherry tree mourned the loss of her overgrown branches and baby cherries after a ruthless groundskeeper gave her a trim when she threatened to block the backyard gate.

Today in the garden…

The watermelons mourned their confinement and planned a subtle escape.

An a young rose mourned for his dying mother while she took her last breath.

Today in the house…

One small boy mourned the loss of an afternoon on his swing set spoiled by a rainstorm.
