Jean Murray Poet Couplet

Spring Is In the Air

Spring is in the air at last.
Cold and damp are in the past.

The evenings now stretch out.
After work we think about

walks along the shoreline
or woodlands before we dine.

The breeze is soft on my cheek
as in my tool shed I seek

my accouterments for the garden.
I must now beg your pardon. 

So much work to be done.
I look forward to the fun.

Seeing what survived the snow.
Planting primroses in a row.

Peaceful time to be alone.
I'm so happy in my home.

Ilene Bauer March 26, 2019 at 11:58 AM this is lovely, jean! plant on! Jean Murray March 26, 2019 at 12:35 PM Hello Ilene. I'm just in all hot and bothered after tackling some creeping ivy that had taken over my rose bed. Once restored with a cuppa, it's back out to treat each bush to some yummy compost.
