WAITING

Author: EXRED

Voices chattering in my garden
The soil and lawn have hardened

Flower petals had dropped down
Leaves have swirled all around

Veggie patch empty and bare
Caterpillars and grubs, nowhere

Anticipation is in the air
For what? I stand and stare

A peace reigns for this time
Waiting for white frosts to be kind

We had plenty of snow at the end of October, a little in November and about a half an inch yesterday which is all melted now. Rain and some snow tomorrow.

Oh! There is anticipation in the air here tonight, tomorrow and into Monday all day here!! Possible 8" - 12" of anticipation! NOT! Not my favorite time of year. Too bad snow doesn't come in rainbow colors!
