Months Out of Order

This was the year when April was May,
dry with bright skies almost every day
and lunch al fresco under sun's ray,
cherry and plum blossom on display.

May felt like March much to my dismay
with frosts at night. Then branches did sway
in the wind and rain under skies grey,
yet tulips stood up looking so gay.

Soon it will be June so now I pray
summer please come without more delay.
With veg to plant out at home I'll stay
just to make sure they are all OK.

It sure has been a topsy turvy few months, weather wise. An accurate historical account if ever I saw one. Nicely written Lisle... I’m off to put my tomatoes out... gulp! Terry

Thanks Terry. I have been away so out of order myself and catching up! Courgettes now coming on well after hot weather.
