Outside My Window

Outside My Window By Curtis Johnson Staring at me up a slight hill, from my front window, there is a cul-de-sac. Outside my back window, over the road and embankment, is a railroad track. I am most proud of my little bird feeder, that helps humming birds stay on tract.The road is a rather busy one, between my fence and the railroad embankment. And there are a few trees lining the roadside, but making a quiet statement. It’s the statement that simply says, “We are here, helping to fight the erosion". There are five trees consisting of a fruitless mulberry, Which I might add, hinders my views of the sunsets. There's a Rose of Sharon. There are three fruit baring trees; an Orange, a Lemon, and the other a Santa Rosa Plum. From another side of my home of few windows, I am afforded a caring look at my garden of vegetable treats. In addition, there are two tall palm trees and several other trees from which I can pull a peach. And lastly, there are the squirrels who don't seem to get enough of all the nuts and seeds in my back yard. Cj09232015 (contest)
