A Writers View






Hello friends- As I sit in my writing studio looking out. I have a feast of a garden to get my creative juices flowing. This spring has been a basket full of blooms for deciding metaphors to use as I do free writing on poems. Poems, something new for me this spring. But am getting into the groove and going with it. For you gardeners, here is a snap of part of our garden. For Mary Lou it is a workout, but right now the hostas and flowers are winning over the weeds. As the warm air blows across our land we will see how the weeds do. And believe me the wind is blowing today. Hey, maybe, a wind blowing, whispering something, maybe that's what I will write about today. At least I'll try to keep the weeds out of my writing.
The top picture is of our Lilac tree, about ready to bloom. The second picture is of a primarily hosta bed around our garden house. It was a play house we won some years ago, and now with the play gone from the house, we keep plant materials inside along with dog training jumps, bikes, and what not. Mostly not. That's one of our summer cleaning jobs.

Friends have a good day. Get your creative juices flowing.
