Pardon The Garden ~*Marge Tindal*~  Pardon the garden for being so bold As to strut her beauty in Marigolds Flaunting her blossoms in hues so bright Oh she's really done it right~ In summer bed of gorgeous Roses She spreads her fragrance to our noses Some make it inside to crystal vase to gaze at me daily on breakfasting face~ Red Butterfly Penta's in flirty beckoning coax delicate flutter-byes winging Flitting the air from bed to bed gathering nectar to fill their heads~ Impatiens in hues of fuschia and red dance with the purple ones in the bed Oh, it brings me to my knees to see the beauty of the Peonies~ Pardon the garden for strutting her stuff decked out in the finery of prissy and fluff~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Oh this is adorable, and so sweet, Marge... It just gives me such a good uplifting feeling. My old house was deep in the woods and it was so shady that the only flowers we could grow were impatiens...so we had them all over the yard. I also planted some violets in the woods and they started coming up in the green thing which we called a lawn. Eventually, we tore out the whole lawn and put myrtle and pachysandra in because the lawn just couldn't compete with all of the tree roots from the forest and it needed some sun, which we didn't have. I have always wanted to grow things, but I also love living in the woods...this condo is in the woods also, but our deck faces south and so we have some plants in pots out there and they do okay.... Your poem is gorgeous!  ~ flowery hugsLyra |

What a joy filled, happy poem. Seems you and Bill were busy with the bloomers. It would be great to see a picture of your labor. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

For the garden is but my delight as she dips in breezy curtsey and sway Pardon my Garden, it says to me as it morning-glory-fies our day... |
