Garden and Poems

You know, every time I go to the gardens, I think I could write a poem. Poems come to me out of the blue. Sometimes I need help with a rhyming word or two but the thoughts are there.
I was worn out, hot and sweaty after physical therapy. Don't think the air conditioner was working to well. Lots of fans, but I still got hot.
Then I went to the garden to water. I can't just go to do one thing. I got out my hoe and tried to chop out some of the weeds. That didn't work well. Doesn't look like there had been any rain over there either. So much for weather forecasts! 
Quit chopping and got my handy dandy little hand trowel. Dug up some weeds. Then watered some, then home.


The Garden This Year 2020

By Mary J Williams



I went to the gardens

After physical therapy

No Elves or Fairies

Had weeded for me



The garden is a mess

All kinds of weeds do I see

The path by the tomatoes

Is still pretty much weed free



I pulled out some weeds

Right near the beans

They are vining around

Just a bunch of green



No flowers on the beans

No pods on the stalks

Don’t know if they ever will

But I sure can grow rocks



Every time it rains

In this garden plot of mine

The rocks come to the surface

It happens all the time



The corn is growing tall

I sure hope some ears do appear

I love that fresh corn

That I get every year



I picked some tomatoes

They were totally green

But the branch was on the ground

Those I did glean



Put some water on the corn

Beans got some too

Watered the tomatoes

Squash too, then I was through.
Corn is growing well despite the weeds

This side of corn so many weeds
you can't see the beans



Tomatoes don't have many weeds growing
yet!

After some weeding you can see
some of the beans

Have two squash but this is the only
one that had blooms. Weeded a tad around it.

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                              We used my dad's birthday as a

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin

Winter-Yard Gardens Birds Critters and ME

Winter-the Yard, Birds and Critters and Me by Mary J Williams It's sort of winter but the weather is mild You can be outside Which makes me smile Weeds were pulled and I planted a seed one was a tree If it grows, it will surprise me I have had fun watching the birds an argument between bluebirds and the Robins I've heard Chickadees flying in and the Titmouse too I grab the camera Then off they flew I have a flowerbox sits on the rail It's on the two by six so falling will fail It also can sit on a two by four but mine just has the space The birds walk through the tunnel and disappear without a trace One time, while filling the feeders One of the tunnels had a bird A sparrow was in there  He ran so fast, he was blurred I love watching them  they think the tunnels fun Maybe they get cool If there's a lot of sun. I have to wash the deck  to try and keep it clean with bird seed and poop Dog pee I mean When it's cold outside Or very early morn The dogs do their business
