We went to Chester's for lunch
Yummy and veggy
Reasonably-priced
And we thought there couldn't be
A better place to eat

It was like a tree house
The water was trickling
Over the stepping stones
And the bright sun bounced
Off the water
Through the dappling leaves

And on the other side of the river
The lime green shiny leaves were
Reflected in the water

For a moment I thought I saw a ******
It was truly magical to see

The leaves are blowing
Around on the ground
The tall trees are swaying
In the breeze

I am thankful
For the dry and windy day
Giving the rain water
A chance to flow away

There were birds and there were bees
There were flowers and there were trees
Blowing in the breeze
There were brightly-coloured male pheasants
With sharp beaks
And camouflaged female pheasants
On the ground, all around
There were reed beds stretching
As far as the eye can see
They were there before the land
Was covered with forests
Now being given a hand by man
To protect the wildlife

I spy bluebells in March, I think
The white snowdrops are wilting
And the yellow daffodils are blooming
As are the crocuses
In beautiful shades of purple and yellow
There is warmth in the sun
That my body welcomes
I have missed this

And you can tell it’s spring
When the birds are nesting
And the bees are buzzing
And the flowers are blooming
There is warmth in the sun
As we welcome it back here
To our hemisphere

After such a wet winter

A pink cloud
Then a purple cloud
Not a white
Or a stormy cloud
Appeared before me
At the window
Then
A sunset
A satellite
A single star
And a crescent moon

The beauty of which
Held me in awe

After such a wet winter

We walked along
The lakeshore
Flying Canadian geese we saw
And bluebells galore
Anchors were clanking
The waves were lapping

The lake shimmered
In the warm sun
And the big oak trees
Gave us shade

The marshland
Had yellow flowers
That we did not know
The name of
And we enjoyed
Sitting by the water
Eating ice cream
In such a peaceful setting

Pink blossom petals
Blowing all around
Not making a sound
As they hit the ground

Lovely to see
From a cherry tree
I had forgotten how beautiful
Spring could be
