I went and bought a house.
Believe me I am no Crouse .
So I put in the paper
and wrote out the letter.
And jolly was I with no spouse.
I emailed my friends
and gave them the news
and told them a Garden
I wanted to harvest.
So happy were they
To check out the place
That Connexion was called post haste.
From my Little Brother so dear and so kind.
A Lawnmower. To keep my Backyard in line.
So grateful indeed.
One friend brought a pottery of grey.
So pretty and fair.
All the way from St. Augustine.
So grateful indeed.
From another friend I got a beautiful
handmade herb box. And green pepper plant.
She is so special. She knows who she is.
So grateful indeed.
A sweet friend gave me a presentation.
Rice, so that I never go hungry.
Wine, so that I will always be happy.
And money, so that it will abound.
So grateful indeed.
My Sister has a knack for knitting.
And knitting she did do.
For in the mail, I found box.
A set of knitted covers for my
down stairs loo.
So grateful indeed.
And Soil, so much Soil, that I will wallow
in Dirt for a while.
Thank you Dear Sir and your Adorable Wife.
So grateful indeed.
My Eldest Brother endeared me with a
Bush. Which is planted in the front yard.
With the promise of standing guard.
So grateful indeed.
From Lowe's I got a rake, a water hose
and a plant bracket.
That plant bracket holds a beautiful
angelic sounding chime in the back yard.
Two lovely Ladies made this happen.
So grateful indeed.
To Target I ran and bought a Hair Dryer.
What would I do with that in a Garden?
Gardening is hard work. Eventually grooming.
So grateful indeed.
My crew of three from STA.
Began what has turned out to be
the landscaping to the entrance.
With plants from their own garden
and tools to tender them with.
So grateful indeed.
A sign that says "Friends Gather Here"
It's both beautiful and telling.
Along with Mint and Aloe Vera.
And pots of all sizes.
So grateful indeed.
Karaoke mischief filled the air.
And Augi ran around happily
Being pampered by all
So grateful indeed.
Another decided to take me shopping.
A beautiful metal side table I did get.
Along with a wine holder for six bottles
Merlot would be a sure bet.
And baskets. I love baskets!!!
So grateful indeed.
And just when I thought that my party was
complete, a beautiful couple shows up with a
latter of all things!!! I wonder how they knew? :)
So grateful indeed.
I truly feel very blessed to have you all for family and friends. What I am most grateful for is that on that Saturday, this structure, which started out as house, with the laughter and the joy, became a home.
Thank you.
