In the Dusting of Springtime

In the dusting of springtime,
sweet scented thoughts of yesterday
come as star jasmine starts to climb
and in the breeze I see it sway.
I recall the scent of rose,
of lilac and the trumpet vine -
their fragrance wafting to my nose -
becoming soon a scent divine
attracting bees and butterflies
to my mom’s lovely garden spot.
Pappi fluff drifted to the skies,
scattering seeds, which were a lot!
The fruit this fluffy dust would bring
were dandelions of our spring.

Daniel Turner Date: 5/25/2023 1:41:00 PM Im down with the sweet smelling flowers but you can keep your dandelions:) LOL Seems like everyone likes to blow those darn seeds.

I think just mowing one's yard a lot makes the yard look ok. Too bad my hubbie won't mow often!
