what i am missing
flowers and rain, sunshine and fireflies
the smell of earth
weeds that mock
butterflies and robins, bare legs and spiderwebs
tiny green buds just opening
peeping frogs at dusk
daffodils and roses, hummingbirds and crickets
the chatter of red-wing blackbirds
curtains that move in the breeze
my tiny ocean of color

I didn’t exactly know it until I read this post but I’m missing all that stuff too. In a HUGE way. Well done.

Lovely photo and post! Spring is sooooo far away for us northern WI folks that I shouldn’t even think about it. Spring is but a dream.

Yes, I’m missing those things too, especially the hummingbirds and the touch of green.

Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. Your blog is beautiful! I’m enchanted by all the queen anne’s lace (one of my favorite flowers…a memory flower, tied to a summer in Massachusetts from my childhood).
