Winter Garden Dreams

In the Winter

I dream of digging dirt

I dream of planting seeds

I dream of warm sunshine, gentle rains, and fresh breezes

In the Winter

I dream of getting up extra early to watch the sun rise

and staying up late to watch it set

I dream of walking barefoot across my front porch to sit in the swing

and watch the songbirds fly by

I dream of watching butterflies flit from flower to flower

and wait with hope that one would land next to me

In the Winter

I dream of fresh, ripe, juicy tomatoes 

and the salad they will adorn

In the Winter

I dream of my garden
