Will you visit yet another mansion?

Setting: Southern antibellum plantation mansion surrounded by magnolias and flower gardens.

Time: Any Spring



Nature's Song



Magnolias blooming in the spring,

Is such a sight to see.

While sitting on the sunny porch,

And sipping on my tea.



The bluebirds singing in the trees,

The lilacs all in bloom.

The perfect day to be a bride,

For just the perfect groom.



The roses with their fragrant blooms,

Grow in the flower beds.

The yellow of the daffodils,

Will compliment the reds.



The robins hop along the ground,

The squirrels run up the tree.

The eagle soars high in the sky,

And watches down at me.



The deer are grazing with the cows,

They have no need to fear.

Their are no hunters with their guns,

They're safe while they are here.



So sit with me and while the time,

Sit here and drink some tea.

And watch with me as nature sings,

Her song to you and me.

I for one see nothing forced about you rhyme pattern. Anyhow, It's just beautiful, Dondi. So serene and welcoming. The images are vivid and lovely. I am an avid gardener and roses are among my favorite. And, for the sake of artistic license, we'll just say that roses and daffodils bloom at the same time in your garden ;) They would be beautiful together. I also like that the deer are safe in this garden. Just beautiful...Wish I were there.



Wow, your roses bloom in March...what zone are you?

You'll have to pardon my ignorance. I'm zone 7 and I pretty much think everyone's garden blooms when mine does.

I'm not trying to be egocentric, but I sometimes forget that things grow differently in other zones. Your garden sounds fabulous.
Reply:I'd love to have tea on your plantation. Then, you can come to my little place on my island and have coffee with me to the sound of the ducks and gulls in the shade of the Rose of Sharon and birch trees.
Reply:I'd love to sit there and watch the colors and sounds of a southern springtime. Could I also wear on of those old south hoop skirt dresses?
