Weathered Wonders

Monday was a rainy, summer day!

I headed out to meet 

a woman selling 
furniture from her home.

When I arrived,

I was greeted by the most 

adorable flower garden.

A heavy rain had just

cleared and the sun was 

peaking out

between the clouds!

Her home was surrounded 

by green grass and flowers

and a multitude of

wet, weathered wonders.

 Everywhere I looked, I found a surprise!

 Beautiful, bright colored flowers,

long and tall,

or hanging and trailing from baskets,

all glistening with rain drops.

 All sorts of places to sit

and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!

Dainty blooms and Turtles ~

 whimsy and a profusion of color ~

 made me a believer!

 Everywhere I looked,

there was something to see!

I got permission first 

before I snooped around her yard!

I didn't want to wear out my welcome,

 but it was like a secret garden!

 I even found surprises up in the trees!

 So in the damp yard, as the wind chimes clanged

and the rain dripped from the trees ~

I felt a sense of peaceful joy!

Live your Authentic Life ~ Be the Real You!

Blessings,

Martha
