Contest:The  View (of my yard)

Written by Doris Culverhouse

Nature's view changes
Familiarity seen
Birds and deer tasting
All of my precious flowers
Attacked like the evil one

Dad's barn and garden
Wayne's great carved flower beds
The tractor and shed 
Always steady, strong present
Workers, lovers of the land

Dedicated to my Dad and Hubby!!

Carolyn Devonshire September 13, 2011 at 5:46 PM I would love to see all these sights in my backyard, Doris, especially Wayne's flower beds. I bet the soil in your area is rich to support those "precious flowers." Very nice dedication, dear. Love, Carolyn
