Sunday thoughts

Daily writing prompt
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

As I type this post, the May garden grows and begins to look towards June. Today is sunny. We enjoy our old house, and are grateful every day. Good to have goals, and goals can be revised as needed. Memorial Day Weekend, 2023.

Mid-May Garden Poems

This morning, I am trying some ideas for short poems, from what I wrote yesterday.

grateful
to see old friends
time in the yard

flowers bloom
and bees visit
the gardens

primroses, ferns
daffodils, and
bleeding hearts

lily and hyacinth
plants from stores
now by the back door

Mid-May Garden

Some time in the yard, and grateful to see so many old friends. Primroses, daffodils, ferns, small bleeding hearts, and other flowers. We are grateful to see the bees. Our Easter lily plants are in the garden, near the back door. And also the small hyacinth plants we bought at a store.

Daily writing prompt
How do you unwind after a demanding day?

This prompt brings back memories of helping with my mother’s care. These were good years, and also were a lot of work. And she worked hard all her life. Good memories. Many people helped with her care. Her last illness was at the nursing home where she served as a volunteer for years.

I learned the small roads back North and home to our small town. Perhaps I can write a new poem.

small roads home
and the contrast between
city and small towns
flowers bloom later here
how wonderful to see them
at my mother’s home
and our home
