I planted a garden today
One that i promised i'd finish someday
Trimmed all the bushes, took out the dead wood
Nourished the soil to give the plants some food
I planted Inpatients and some Marigolds
Red, pink, purple, orange and even some gold
Before I was done, saw butterflies and bees
Feeding on the new flowers, heard birds in the trees
The garden is planted, its beauty to soon share
After giving it some tender loving care

I accomplished a few things today
For one, my contribution to Earth Day (4-22-01)
And I did something I promised I would
And might I add, my garden looks good

And I'll bet it does. Look good, that is. Joyce

It was rainy here most the day, your poem was a breath of much needed sunny springtime.

Mmmmm...for me, Gardening is practical spirituality...methinks we plant gardens every day, whether we intend to or not!

Sounds like you had a lovely day!
