The baby Robin has already flown the nest.  I saw a Robin yesterday carrying building materials. I don't know if it was Mom or Dad or a different Robin. If it was Mom, that bird needs a vacation.

Another Poem for the April Challenge from the HH. The prompt: Dog-eared.

Dog Ears

Dogs come with all manner of ears

Long and floppy

Short and erect

Ones that tip

 

My dog’s ears are

The short tippy kind

Usually forward and tipped

But sometimes flopped back

 

She can also extend them sideways

Looking like Dumbo about to take off

She can also do one flap down

Sometimes the right, sometimes the left

 

I am guessing there is

Some meaning to that

One thing is certain

She hears what she wants to

 

Kind of like people

 

That's it for now, Blogger Buds.

Ketch-Up Day

How are you? How's your weather? We are in the middle of a drought.  I mowed Sunday. Pollen was flying like dust.  Of course, I didn't think about wearing a mask till after I started hacking:) We desperately need rain. For those of you who are getting too much wet stuff, feel free to send it our way:)

AND

Pics from the Eternal Garden.

 The blackberry bush. (See the pollen hanging on it?)

 

 

Pollen on the pavers and more in the grass.

 

The amaryllis and more pollen. Tired of hearing me whine about the pollen yet?;)

The HH is in a poetry writing challenge this month and here is one he wrote yesterday:

When Words Appear

     Despite plausible theories,

     No one can really say

     Exactly how words

     Become available

     Just when they are needed,

     Nor why they hide so carefully

     In the tall grass

     Of our minds

     Creating a thicket of frustration

     When they don’t.

     There’s such a slim margin

     Between just OK words

     And the magnificence

    Of putting the correct words

     In their places.

 

 That's it for now, Blogger Buds. Been doing anything fun and exciting?
