2020 Spring

They could grace the cover of a magazine.                                                                                                             Meet my colorful flower garden team;                                                                                                                                 So bright and bountiful this spring.                                                                                                                          

More glorious than ever it seems.                                                                                                                                   The smiling Irises can't wait to be seen;                                                                                                                Sitting stately enthroned like beauty queens.                                                                                                       

Decoratively surrounded by plenty of green,                                                                                                                The big-blossomed roses make their annual scene,                                                                                                        Full of red, yellow, maroon, and very pretty pink.

They're on display like a well-orchestrated machine,                                                                                                 Some of which lie slightly against the window screen.                                                                                                               Like homemade greeters, the cactuses hover over them all,                                                                                                            

Yelling loudly to all comers,  "Hello yall!"                                                                                                                  The mulberry tree stands broad and tall,                                                                                                                    Flashing its shade against the walls.
