Garden News, Summer Solstice 2011

it smelled of lilacs
and then the rain

now Egyptian perfume
is on the breath of the iris
so pale blue
it's pearl white

chamomile blossoms
bits of sunshine

luminescent sage flowers
butterflies of purple

and hummingbirds
in the columbine

red strawberries
green gooseberries
currant buds
apple starts
raspberries ready to grow
vegetables. planted.

blessed be this abundance
