A fairly small stone from the Similkameen
July 17th, 2011



I stride through the jungle,
machete in hand, preparing
to log the delphinium stalks.

Tender new shoots push through the rich earth
promising an October display.
Who will cut them back next year?

    This makes me sad - hopefully someone will enjoy that garden as much as you have!

    I love that description. :-)
