" Zodiac Town"
The rhymes of Amos and Ann (abridged)

Amos and Ann had a poem to learn,The rhymes of Amos and Ann (abridged)
Nancy Byrd Turner
A poem to learn one day;
But alas! they sighed, and alack! they cried,
'Twere better to go and play.
Ann was sure 'twas a waste of time
To bother a child with jingling rhyme.
Amos said, "What's the sense in rhythm--
Feet and lines?" He had finished with 'em!
They peered at the poem with scowly faces,
And yawned and stumbled and lost their places.
Then--a breeze romped by, and a bluebird sang,
And they shut the book with a snap and a bang;
Shut the book and were off and away,
Away on flying feet;--
Never did squirrels move more light,
Or rabbits run more fleet!

| Jacaranda Tree |
 |
| Orchids. The purple one is a gift for Mother's Day this year but the white one was a gift for last years birthday in August. It should have bloomed in August this year but surprised us by blooming for Mother's Day too. |
 |
| Hydrangea named Endless Summer. It is supposed to bloom all summer long but so far it does not do this for her after the first prolific bloom in the springtime. |
 |
| Feverfew. This reseeds itself so it comes up in different places every year. Sometimes I take the flowers after they have gone to seed and shake them where I would like them to come up next year. |
GARDEN UPDATE
Going to be a scorcher today, so all chores are done way ahead of time. The apples are getting big as well as the apricots. Getting more and more tomatoes.
Watched the sweetest little yellow breasted sparrows cavort in the fountain this morning as I was watering the topsy turveys. Flitting by, a mama hummer was checking all the available flowers.
