Grapevines on my sister Donna's land in Sonoma, California

Accelerate

5/3/10

Spring is busy

once rains stop,

wildflowers bloom prolific,

orchard blossoms fall

start toward fruit,

knee high grass

waits for mower,

garden wants weeding,

improvement to beds

adding compost soil

teeming with worms,

I plant seeds,

nurture winter starts

transplanted to pots

increasing water routine

as heat rises,

my actions pace

the longer light,

days, that accelerate.
