Small stone: January 7, 2012

A gardener’s memo: Prune in January.
Tomato plants, gone.
Pelargonium and lavender, cut back.
Vines, sheared.
Yet, the fountain of color
needs to stay a bit longer.

  1. A fellow pelargonium lover! I long for a garden and your stone lets me breathe a bit of yours. It's so sad when the colors fade, or at best, begin to pale. Other palettes happen then.

    1. I no longer have the "true" garden that I once had...mostly in pots on a cement slab...but, it brings birds and insects and joy. Thanks for your comments.
