My Spring Babies

Seed Song

What is inside?
Delight and...
surprise,
I promise.

Nurture me and
we...
will...
grow.
I promise.


How about another tour of my garden, from a macro perspective? [Remember, for better views, enlarge a picture by clicking anywhere on the picture.]

 Crabapples

 Grapes

Strawberries

Peaches (future fuzzy navels, already fuzzy)

Plums (too good to resist; see the bite?)

Cherries

Beet

Cauliflower

Cabbage

Asparagus

Potato

"I'm not sure these pictures go with that poem," says Virginia.

"Think metaphor," I say, "seeds in the sense of early life.  It's a first attempt at a poem a friend asked me to write to go with the seeds to be handed out at her daughter's wedding."

"What's for breakfast?" says Virginia.

A different kind of seed -- scrabbled eggs.
