August End in the Garden
The bird bath on our patio got a lot of visitors this summer.
Our beautiful pink and white phlox is in full bloom.

First Frost

Crisp brown leaves now litter the lawn
Rimed by frost in the early dawn.
The dahlias bend, their flowers curl,
Sagging low, as around them swirl
The icy whispers of winter.
Flocks of Phlox
It is nearly fall now as all the phlox are in bloom in our garden.

Jaunty plumes of glad July
Beckon to bees passing by-
“Hello! Hello! Come and see
What garden pleasures there may be.”
Crickets chirp an invitation –
“There is nectar here for your libation.
Colours there are to entice your eye,
Brilliant hues and perfumes to try.
Come once, come twice. Pause for a sip.
It’s worth your time to make the trip.”
Pansies curtsy as breezes play
And rare is the bee that stays away.
Morning in the Garden

Brown-eyed Susans on the hill
Are nodding in the sun.
Waving daisies at the gate
Are stretching one by one.
Blue cornflowers by my door
Raise up their sleepy heads.
God is walking in his garden
Awaking all the beds.
