    Makes me want to get my fingers into warm dirt and start planting. Here, we usually wait until danger of frost is over. Planting season begins May 24th. To be totally truthful, my son-in-law does the gardening now that I’ve become a lady of leisure.

    The patio is so inviting. The plants so colourful. I’d like to join you in your garden. Lovely poem, Len. Thank you.
