A Lawnmower, Chlorophyll, Birds, and Love

 

“A little place in the country, a dog, a few good books – every Englishman’s dream”

 

-David Niven as Sir Arthur in 55 Days at Peking

 

A lawnmower is a rackety thing

But the garden doesn’t seem to mind at all

This second mowing of the season:

“Just a little trim along the edges”

 

The bees among the flowers and their little pool

Bobbin’ robins up early for their worms

Woodpeckers and finches at the feeder

And young oak leaves showing off their new green

 

Honoring each life as a sister or brother –

Love is much better than shooting each other
