Yesterday I traveled
Just sixty miles away
And found myself transported
To the merry month of May.
In the center of Seattle where
Appearing just for me
And it seemed a large proportion
Of the world's humanity,
Was all of spring's bright pleasures
In such raiment grand and fair.
The flowers of the springtime
Were in appearance there.
Espaliared pear and apple trees
Were in luixurious bloom.
I wondered at the beauty stored
In this cavernous room.
Eight acres spread before us
With anticipations high,
We knew on any path we took,
Delights would catch the eye.
We had just seven hours to spend
Before our homewarde trip.
Seven delicious hours in which
This taste of spring to sip.
We marveled at the labor
To install this wonder show,
But the resulting beauty
Was all we'd need to know.
Enormous trees were standing
As if always planted there
With grass and flowers in landscapes
That showed much skill and care.

The bus trip home was very short,
Our minds so full of dreams
Of gardens in their fine array
And our new landscape schemes.
Today the air is fresh and mild
And I know what it means;
God and His crew are working hard
On Spring behind the scenes.

such a lovely portrait you paint dear lady. I love flower and garden shows.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
