Gardening Fun

I Went Outside
By Mary J Williams

I went outside
And what did I see
All the weeds and leaves
Grinning at me

You’re too old
To harm us now
I’ll show you I said
And then I showed them how

I picked up sticks
Saved several worms
Picked them all up
And threw them very firm

In another flower bed
Did those worms fly
At least they won’t be blown
And maybe they wouldn’t die

As I was blowing leaves
I had to stop and look around
So many things happening
In the grass on the ground

A teeny tiny flower
I don’t know what it is
I hope I can I D it
I will put it on a Facebook quiz

Then I saw the wild onion
Growing every where
Right in the middle of Anemone
Probably choke them out, I swear

I was dumping my bag of leaves
And I couldn’t believe my eyes
There were two daffodils
Blooming where the water did rise

It’s a runoff area
From the streets above
And there were those daffodils
A surprise for me that I love
 
On my way back up the hill
I was startled to see
Candy Tuft starting to bloom
I smiled at them in glee

On up the hill I went
To put my stuff away
Could smell the Hyacinth
And Golden Currant blow my way

By the way I found it
the flower, tiny and white
was the start of a clover
Bees will love it, much to my delight!

Yes, I am older
Can’t do very much
But little by little
I accomplish a bunch

Daffodil where the water run off  is

Almost a spicy smell on the Golden Currant

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
