A May Day Petal Parade

Daisies dot the Cretan countryside, their sunny faces

 open to new beginnings, while blues of sea and sky

blend to form infinite shades of hope and wonder.

Little by little, leafy patches sprouting carrot toned

 petals fill the cracks on white washed, stony walls.

The vines have arrived! Like an army of soldiers,

 they stand at attention, awaiting their cue to

 renew those juicy bursts of summer jewels.

 Contrasting hues make you retrace your steps, to 

gaze at gardens growing effortlessly on their own,

 as are tiny blossoms blooming on vacant, bare

 branched trees, despite their short term stay.

 Dear Friends,

I hope you've enjoyed all these sweeties!

I will be leaving them in a few days, as I 

depart for my beloved Canada, to spend 

time with Liberty, my family and friends.

My sister, Cindy, has asked me to decorate

her new home, and I can't wait! Of course,

I will be sharing this project with you, as

well as my visits to flower festivals, where 

I will finally get to see my precious peonies 

and other sentimental charmers up close!
