The Weather

It's All About The Weather
By Mary J Williams ©

It was February 
When the weather was weird
All of the changes
Were really feared

This really happened
From one day to the next
I'm not making this up
More than just me was certainly vexed

The temperature soared
To eighty-one degrees
Then we were told
It was going to freeze

Maybe some rain
Mixed with some snow
This is Missouri
So, anything goes

On February the 27th
Was the day we will remember
The temperature was 81
And no, it's not September

The forecast came
And shocked us all
February the 28th
Rain and snow should fall

I didn't think it would
watching the temperature drop
From that balmy 81 to the 30's
Went to bed and it didn't stop

The 28th of February
I got up to let the dog out
Oh, my God, look Lacy
That is snow all about

I laughed and got my camera
I just had to take a pic
otherwise no one would believe
they'd probably think I was sick

The temperature now was lower
down to 20 degrees
Snow was on the ground
and there was a mighty breeze

I have the pictures to prove it
It's still hard to believe
the temperature had dropped
over 60 degrees

This is Missouri
on the same day seven years ago
granddaughter climbing a tree
and leaves are budding, you know

So, really the weather does this
It's happened many times before
It changes in a heartbeat
and will for evermore

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
