I've been working reelly hard outside today. That was how you'd spell my fun I mowed all 1/2 acre lot with a reel mower. What a blast huh?! Then my thoughts turned to gardening in this Texas sandy loam lol almost impossible but it is done. Just need to water it good everyday lately.
Then as my scattered mind leads me I turned to crafts and I'm looking to make unusual stuff well to get inspiration I turned to the trusty PC. Very interesting things are on this old machine googling for a re-do on an old medicine cabinet and ran into this :
Throne of The Keeper of The Seed
Petals in their prime - now dropping.
Blooms once bright with color - withered.
A presence now at hand - we're haunted.
Paths of lilacs once - now ghosted
with the dry dead stems of lives now ended.
Ends before conclusions,
petals drop before full blooms.
Haunting in the garden - a reaper.
Reaping what it has not sown - a thief.
Seemingly complete - his pillage,
but behind remains,
in the dry dead shell of leaves and stems,
the dream,
the hope that another will pick up where he left off,
the time capsules locked, his inspiration,
the seed.
Now to all who sit in this throne - a decree,
to be to the seed for us - a keeper.
to look beyond the fragments of death - the rustling,
and to always adhere oneself to this creed:
seeds need water and soil and light - please care.
young minds sparked by blooms now dead - please nurture.
Look back towards those who passed - please smile
for all the things they gave - the seeds.
And let not their deaths be in vain - Remember.
Remember in this day
to all who would agree
to be a keeper of the seed.

Got back on my regular account where all my friends are...:) don't know what the problem was thanks Bill for being my one and only friend on the other one ...it will be my spare in case I don't get on some other time.
The heart is a gardenHey all my friends here on GG I have decided to not use my pc as much. I get more done if I don't sit in front of it . (Who'd of thought?)
I want more out of life Ha!
So you may see me pop in on occasion but for the most part I am just limiting my voice online.
Don't worry about me I'm doing fine and thanks for those concerned folks who asked "where I was?" All is good just need less time on here and more in the real world.
Laugh if you like it is kinda funny but I spend more time online than anywhere and I am downsizing that right now.
Ya'll have a good growing season.
