Our whole world is filled
each spring
with hundreds of signs of
this season
A thick tablet would be
needed just to
list them all
But just to pick a small
example----
there is a little spread down
South in Texas---somewhere
north of Capricorn
aptly and beautifully
named "Wild Peach"
and oh, the beauty of ten-feet-tall
tomato plants
greens, lettuces, herbs, and that
basil-patch-to-die for....
cucumbers, squash, artichokes,
Kentucky Wonders and peas---
all planted in warm March
and growing big by May...
But the greatest thing of all,
fairly shouting out to my soul...
Spring! Spring! Spring! ...there
in all of Wild Peaxh, every year---
is the courageous little peach tree...
now in its fourth year
with twenty-four peaches!
MIL, 8 MAY, '17
