A Gardeners Poem

[Kathy]

The Gardener's Morning

The robin's song at daybreak
Is a clarion call to me.Get up and get out in the garden,
For the morning hours flee.

I cannot resist the summons,
What earnest gardener could?
For the golden hours of morning
Get into the gardener's blood.

The magic spell is upon me,
I'm glad that I did not wait;
For life's at its best in the morning,
As you pass through the garden gate.g

How true that is! I love morning in the garden better than any other time. Something about the quality of the light just after sunrise makes everything look so bright and vibrant and alive.

I try to be in the garden by 6am, the sun is up and all of the birds & squirrels are out.
As I quietly work around the plants, it's like there's a concert of bird songs surrounding me.
The squirrels are so trusting of me, they'll come play at the edge of the garden-sometimes burying hickory nuts in the soft soil.

I love early morning, winter or summer. It's just more peaceful & makes my spirit dance..

Early this morning I was in the bathroom for my first visit of the day. I looked out the window and saw a beautiful sight. It was my DH bent over harvesting more veggies. How gorgeous!

(Hey it's better than me bending over and picking!)
