It’s the merry month of May

Hello!         I just realized that it has been awhile since I last  made an entry.  When I started this diary I wasn’t sure how I’d do. I’m just no good at making regular entries.  We’ve had some strange weather. It was warm, then It was rainy and cool and by the end of this week they are saying it will be in the 80’s (hot!).  Personally, I don’t like hot weather. It’s the beginning of May and I would like some consistent warm Spring weather.

I see that the question this week is, “Is there something that you had to learn that you wish you hadn’t?” Or words to that effect. Well, I’ve had to learn that people don’t always like me the way I like them. It can be a bitter pill to swallow when you realize that although you  care a great deal about someone that doesn’t automatically mean that they feel the same way about you. Academically speaking I can’t think of any class I took that I wish I hadn’t had to take. There were some like  macro-economics and  accounting that I had to take for specialized diplomas that I never would have taken otherwise, but I don’t regret taking them.

I moved about the garden

digging small holes

in the dirt

and dropping in

grey striped seeds

mammoth sunflowers

huge heads

large golden petals

hundreds of seeds

for birds to feast on.

I plant them in rows

by the coneflowers,

green leaves sprouting up

triumphant comeback

from last year

and near the chickenwire

by the peonies

and trellis with the trumpet vine

I put moonflower seeds

in  the hope

a vine will sprout

and we will have

the large white blossoms

on summer evenings.
