Natures Brush

The daffodils have sprouted With a few now past their prime. The bright green hedges sit and wait For bugs to start to climb.

I love to read your writing. Such a pretty and lovely poem and so timely. I think it's so hard to wait for spring. Along with the daffodils, I love bright fiery forsythia bushes and even happy little dandelions. Yellow, yellow everywhere.

Sure sounds like spring to me, Ilene. Maybe it’s just me, but spring in the UK seems to be dragging its heels this year. Nice write. Terry

good read, Ilene. No such thing down here. My oak trees were the last to get their leaves but that was a couple of weeks ago.
