Back breaking
legs aching
pulling weeds
and planting seeds
Palms unveiled
not one of them failed
surviving nature’s wrath
until winter’s aftermath
Hands all muddy
nails chipped and cruddy
wet shoes placed in the laundry-room
waiting for spring’s flowers to bloom
The radio blares a warning
severe winter storm is coming
back outside to cover the palms
keep from freezing their fronds
Back breaking
legs aching
I guess I’ll never learn when
Mother Nature has fooled me again!

Aww, I hope that they all survive this storm.

Since moving to my loft, I’ve missed having a garden, but having read this, I’m not so sure!
