My "Happy Place" ~

November is coming to an end,
and my garden needs a ton of maintenance,
but this just doesn't feel like the "fun" kind of work
that results in the Oooh's and Ahhh's that I utter
when I take my morning strolls in spring or summer,
with my mug of tea or coffee in hand,
surveying for any tiny new green shoot or bright new blossom
like a keen-eyed gold prospector.
Somehow, chopping down the spent lily stalks
hardly yields the same thrill.
True, we don't have a long cold season,
but I'm a pathetic weather wimp.
It's not really my fault, my veins flow with zone 10 blood,
I'm one of those freaks who thinks that Christmas lights
look perfectly charming festooned in palm trees.
The short daylight hours alone can put me into a deep funk.
Which is why, my favorite place, at this time of year,
is easily my glasshouse.
A simple structure that my clever hubby built
using recycled sliding glass door panes.
Just 12'x12', this is my pocket paradise.
So, for now, I'll bring my cup here each morning,
and commence my ooohing and ahhhing . . .
. . . just as soon as I wipe the steam off my specs
Isn't Ma Nature a miracle worker?
Thanks for visiting, oh, can I fill that cup for you?
