Rosebud- Our Family Dog

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

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
