NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 22

Beautiful day and I’ve done a couple walk arounds. Looking at the garden that others have planted: is that a weed? is that a plant? a volunteer? Resisting the urge to start weeding this time of year is hard, but the best way to get self-seeding and perennials the chance they need to pop above the ground where you can see them!

I cannot show you
how the lawn is suddenly
green suddenly green

I only know that
the act of sitting still
is a great teacher

has the date of
last expected frost gone by
waiting one more week

the nervous hostas
barely poked up pointy shoots
they fear being snacks
