~The Flower Moon~
Lilies of the valley
Ring each silent bell
When May’s bright moon
Lightens up the dell.
Furry-footed creatures
Scurry here and there
Dancing to the music
They can hear
Quite well.
(From When the Moon is Full: A Lunar Year by Penny Pollock)
It was lovely watching the full Flower Moon rise in the eastern sky late last night. And it was even lovelier this morning to stumble upon lilies of the valley growing all along the southern side of the potting shed. I immediately thought of the above poem, which can be found in one of my favorite books of nature poetry for young children.
~ A few other things I noticed during my morning walkabout ~
Tiny newborn spruce cones, like papery brown flowers.
A small shady sprouting of morel mushrooms.
And right by the front door, a small patch of (flowering!) clover.
The May garden is just magical! Take a peek around your yard,and let me know what you find! :)
