SOL26 April 21 Wacky Weather

I am writing with Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Community.  I do this every week as a reminder to remember the small moments of this life.  My landscaper is coming today and he says he can plant as long as it is above freezing? This is his only day to plant in my area until June. So, yesterday,

Wearing winter wear, I wandered
Around agreeable arborvitae,
Jumped over just-right junipers, 
Hitched-close to handsome hydrangea, 
Stood next to superb spirea
Wondered if they 
Would be worth wrecking my back, 
Would weather wayward watering,
Would welcome weary ones,
After wacky weather?

I'm with the other commenters. I love the way you wove the weather in through the pageant of spring regalia. I'm always marveling at the signs of spring, and it makes me smile to see the different direction you took it!

I hope it all works out for you (and your plants). Nature is unpredictable for sure!
