Neighborhood Activity Proves Spring is Here

Each Home Begins the Rites of Spring

Major Jester
The subdivision awakes to a gentle rain soon gone
Now garage and shed doors are opening
It's time once again to think of the lawn

Last night a super moon displayed all its splendor
But today landscape tools are cleaned and prepared
This year, its resolved, the weeds will surrender

Seems like each homestead laid out on this block
Teems with multiple tasks well underway
Thatch the grass, pick up sticks, best move that pretty rock

Hearing sweet voices of neighborhood kids
"Don't run through those new flowers!"
An ardent gardener forbids

Yes, spring has arrived on the street that we love
An eye pleasing comfortable environment is sought
One family and friends can enjoy and be proud of

There is always one person on the block who mows their grass first. I am not that person.

    I wish spring would arrive. It's snowing right now the the desert of Arizona.

    Thanks for sharing this! I love Spring!
    I don't even mind cleaning up the yard.
    I looked for the Super Moon, but it was
    cloudy here and I didn't see it.
