Seedtime

Seedtime 
Sunny, showers  
Sowing, scattering, setting 
Shelter, shoots, hope, haul-in 
Hustling, heart-breaking, humbling  
Happy, handsome 
Harvest

Shh. Clever that you used "s" then blended into "h." I love the gardening theme. Makes me want to sow more seeds for a bigger harvest. Congratulations!

There was a time I couldn't wait to get my hands in garden soil. But so were birds, bugs, woodchucks, rabbits, deer, and pilfering neighbors! Success in the contest. / Maurice

Thanks so much, Maurice, I know what you mean. I used to love raising tulips...then the deer discovered the rich plate of tasty buds. I tried everything...then gave up! Others have better luck than I, so I enjoy theirs.

Great Diamante Milton, you kept the shape well without compromising the integrity and relevance of the wording, jury’s still out, you might just be a machine after all, like the sponsor Caren, Best of luck in her contest cheers David

Thanks, David. Well, at my age, there's nothing much else to do but crank them out! I love your comments. I look forward to reading your diamante, too.

I'm sure you did okay, Regina. It's not terribly complicated. I just took mine up another notch with the alliteration. Thanks for your encouragement.
