Garden Woes

As I stroll hand in hand in my beautiful garden A kaleidoscope of colors surround me We sit upon the bench under the tree And listen to the orchestral choir. As the sun sets and night reigns The woodland creatures begin to stir Their camouflage no longer appears hidden for the nocturnal hunt begins. The warm air blows a gentle breeze But the insects take no heed The buzzing around our heads Intrude on our peaceful interlude. Hand in hand we stroll out of the garden In daylight a paradise delight But evening brings a different tune Laden with various biting insects.

Good title for this one, Phyllis. Those insects can do a lot of damage and destroy the great garden mood!! What inspired this one? have you been out in a garden lately? I was happy to see this new one of yours here. Bring on some more, sweetie!!
