Strolling To the Post Box

Strolling along looking out for new nature
Bluebirds nest along the way
Orange mushrooms have sprung to life
Smoke bomb mushrooms have shed their spores
Anticipation is the thrill and surprise
The marigolds have reseeded to new life
My late plantings of dill have sprouted
Now if the frost doesn't kill them too soon
Oh yes the post box, a new sample package
A Country magazine, and a bill yuck!
Tomorrow again anticipation

My mailbox is right outside my front door; so I don't have to walk a distance to retrieve my mail. This is a very descriptive write.

This is a very nice one of your observations of nature on the way to the mail box. An enjoyable read, Doris. And no, I don't think we have fireants around Utah. thank goodness. I never see fleas either.
