Naked sat the little house
Shivering in the spring.
I hardly recognized her there
With hardly anything
To set within my heart a flame
That glowed as she was dressed
In flowers of magnificence-
Each day her Sunday best.
But soon she’ll wrap up winter’s chill
In fashion on parade
When designers of this spring
Put her wardrobe on display.

Dear Barb:

I loved this poem and it reminds me of my own home, which looks so dull in the spring and uninteresting. On Mother's Day each year my family comes with their friends and plant all my flower beds and boxes with gorgeous flowers. Also clean up the lawn and
sometimes even clean the gazebo! I feel really blessed!

Love
Betty Lou
