Quite refreshing the brisk temperatures courtesy a cold front that allows,...

Milkweed and Hydrangeas
The garden you planted is regrowing, Just like you said it would— But the desolate husks of last summer’s foliage Still stand stark; Everlasting monuments Of what once was.

Milkweed Wonder Pod
I picked a ripened pod And split open at its seam, Hundreds of seeds attached to Fluffy tufts of hair. I blew gently and sent a myriad silken little parachutes into the air across the meadow! Abdul Malik 12/20/12 Natural Landscape...
