IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY
It was only yesterday…
That I was taking pictures of the sunset from my window!
It was only yesterday…
When I had finished planting the dent corn intertwined with Scarlet Runner Beans!
It was only yesterday…
How I was hoping for rains, standing amidst my burned roses with the severing heat!
It was only yesterday…
Which had me exhausted planting a hundred dahlias in pots!
It was only yesterday…
Where I felt not so lonely with bees buzzing as I harvested the English lavender!
It was only yesterday…
Was dreaming about vacations playing with our ducklings, not masks and social distancing!
It was only yesterday…
When I made those gorgeous mouthwatering floral designs for family celebrations!
It was only yesterday…
That my little daughter was baking almost every week, desserts so delightful!
It was only yesterday…
That I started listening to bird songs, dreaming of freedom!
It was only yesterday…
That I had forgotten to lock the hen house while working late nights!
It is today… my favorite hen is gone, a meal for a vixen and her pups..
It is tomorrow…I have a dream…the shelter in place is over…!
