Playing In The Garden

Amy L-V is hosting Poetry Friday today out on the farm.  Be sure to be ready for lots of fun in the out of doors.  Check out all the guests' posts, and thank you Amy for having us.


         I have spent two years trying to start a crop of hollyhocks and finally they seem to be doing well, except the recent terrible heat we've been having is not helping them look top notch.  The first year, they only grew about a foot, and last year, there were just a few stalks.  Now there are about twelve! I was watering the patch today and looking at some of the blooms, remembering one of my grandmother's gardens, where she let me play and imagine with her multitude of flowers whenever I wanted.   Today I played again, with the flowers and with words.
