March Nonet
~~~~~~~~~~~
March delivered daffodil goblets
filled to the brim with sweet nectar
for busy bees to feast on
and gather for the hive
with sharing instincts
that help the whole
comb flourish

I went out to the back woodland garden to photograph flowers
and found that I was not alone in my appreciation of the cheerful blooms.
This was the most cooperative bumblebee I have ever met.

Daffodil Dance
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daffodils dance
under moody spring skies
Delightful rays of sunshine
March before our eyes
led by snowdrop splendor
and crowds of crocuses too
side by side grape hyacinths
under a canopy just as blue

Spring Haiku

Spring hearth rekindled
I bask in its gentle glow
Vernal Equinox

The following poem was written by my (almost) 13 yr old daughter.
We dedicate it to all the mothers who read this blog.
She composed it out loud,
as I was rushing about the kitchen,
just before listening to her piano practice.
I love her evening recitals.

The Busy Bee
~~~~~~~~~~~
What do I see?
A busy bee
buzzing from flower to flower
never giving herself
a moments rest
working hour after hour

I believe God must have smiled to himself
as He designed spring blooms
knowing that they would delight and warm our hearts
after winter’s icy cold fingers had been pried off our gardens.
Easter’s events pried the grip of sin and death
from those who believe and trust in the risen Christ.
