Compost

Let's raise our glasses in a toast,

To this new place we'll put our compost.

Someday, I assert,

We will add it to dirt.

But that will be another post.

Gnarly

On a hike we was this old oak tree.

Which is something we're happy to see.

It's got cool, twisty limbs,

Due to infrequent trims.

And the burls it has make it gnarly.

Propagate!

I made these hangers for a vase.
Which means more plants in a small space.
They were artsy steals, 
From Instagram Reels.
They really help spruce up the place.

 

Pinwheels

These pinwheel colors are bright.
For my birthday they made quite a sight.
The wind makes them spin,
Which inspires a grin.
They need lights on them when it turns night.

 

First Mow

The weather was sunny and warm,
Time to get the yard into good form.
Today was first mow,
It was a slow go.
Wet grass made it hard to perform.

 

Oopsie!

This small pond was really dark brown.
The duckweed covered it like a crown.
Our small dog fell in,
Luckily he can swim.
I was really afraid he would drown.

 

Report Cards

I'm writing report cards today.

I hope that it goes without delay.

The grading goes quick,

It's comments where they stick.

I hope students don't feel dismay.
