To admire other people's flowers

and not nurture your own

what's up with that.

On our lawn I stand
Admiring three Islands
Perennials returned
Your harsh words they've outgrown
How would YOUR garden grow?

There's another garden here that needs care and attention. Lost some perennials over winter. I love Tanka and Haiku, so few words that say so much. Delice

You have no idea; I've been accused of caring too much for our lawn and yard and home. Thank you for stopping by... Blessings to you.
