Temperatures drop
Screaming wind slashes the earth
For some, no escape
NaPoWriMo Day 14
Temperatures drop
Screaming wind slashes the earth
For some, no escape
NaPoWriMo Day 14
Exhausted from searching
In my dreamland quests
Always seeking the trees
Leaves furl away at my glance
Unfurl to peek back, claiming it’s the wind
Bare roots and branches seem to hide nothing
But I wonder
NaPoWriMo Day 12
Recently I lamented that a hard, late freeze would kill all the flowers on our two peach trees, preventing any kind of peach crop this year.
Wrong again!
We have lots of peaches! Somehow they survived the two or three nights of temperatures in the 20s and the peaches are emerging. There might even be enough for the birds and to have a few left over for us. Time will tell.
