An icy chill engulfs my body
As I leave through my back door
I begin to wonder with a little sadness
Is the sun going to shine anymore?

As we head towards winter
There are many changes before my eyes
As my garden begins to take on
A completely different disguise

The bright flowers from Summer
Are now few and far between
The birds are taking shelter
Not so often are they seen

The trees are becoming bare
As their leaves begin to fall
Very soon my beautiful birch trees
Will have no covering at all

The soil is becoming much colder
But below the surface there lays a surprise
In a few months time a treasure
Will be unearthed before my eyes

So many flower bulbs
Now lie dormant in the earth
I must wait so patiently
Until I view the first signs of their birth

Crocuses, daffodils and jonquils
Will begin this spectacular display
Then ranuculi and anemones
Will burst forth from where they lay

A kaleidescope of color
Will once again spread across my yard
As my cupid statue, with his trusty bow & arrow
Will be so proudly standing guard

In another life...I know I loved you then
Lightning strikes twice...we're destined again.
We dont have to make promises...we were always meant to be

I'm so glad you all liked the journey through my garden and how different my garden would look to your write now. It's quite amazing to think that while my garden is shutting down for Winter, yours are bursting forth with new growth.

Janet Marie, thanks so much for the lovely picture.....it was so very beautiful.

Take care.....Sue
