Spyglass Gardens
Sights and Smells of Spring
Updated: Mar 10, 2020

Fruit tree buds swell
Soon they will burst in the warm sun
Blossoms of pink red and white
In the early morning quite a delight
Frost brings the farmer alarm
Because cold mornings can bring harm
Praying each blossom will bare fruit
Sounds of honey bees – birds gathering in the trees
Courtship of spring fills the air
The farmer prepares his fields with great care.
Willows gently bend in the breeze
Clothed in lime green leaves
Patches of yellow appear in the grass
Weed or flower some folks ask
Dandylions golden in the sun
Bring joy to the honey bees – watching is such fun!
Soon the fields will be enchanted
In colors of the rainbow
Textures of life tall and low
Baring tiny flowers that last for days
Large blooms only lasting an hour.
Some smell sweet – some sour
But altogether, with the help of those bees
Soon bring forth the bounty for you and me,
