Bumblebee

Sweet nectar where rain falls silently...

The Art of Giving is in the buds of Lavender where 

Bumblebees and Hummingbirds work together side by side 

sipping nectar for pollinating fruits and vegetables to 

sustain the babies and families to obtain a resistance to 

colds and unknown strains of Corona Virus... 

Asparagus is gathered in bunches to steam and serve with 

buttered carrots in cream and home-made bread warm from the Oven... 

Female goats roam on grassy knolls and consent to provide milk for cheese 

when Winter sets in and Summers Harvest is stored for soups and sauces with 

tender herbs... Parsnips are added for a unique flavor to enhance casseroles 

and scalloped potatoes .  Bon appetite !

yum Pat now I'm
hungry for autumn' s
sweet nectar honey
soups and downhome
cooking

I love your lovely
descriptives of
nature's beauty to
behold as always
in your most poetic
and unique style

as the seasons change
we prepare and store
as even the bees and
busy ants know winter
is upon us soon

lovely write

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Fran Marie... how delightful to read your words. Yesterday suddenly turned very cold with a breeze and golden Autumn bittersweet leaves covering the ground. A good time for preparing soup and leaving seeds for our feathery friends on wing. tenderly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

you are
most welcome

A beautiful poem on the bounties of nature and all the love that God has bestowed upon us. There's everything we need nutritionally, medicinally, emotionally and so much more. We do not want for anything. Loved this read, Ms. Pat!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest AJ... it is important to eat all the nutrients we receive from fruits and berries and vegetables... not to mention the incredible edible egg. Of course protein is important; however, we could be eating too much meat when a little goes a long way.
Thank you for your endearing review. The best to you and yours. Gently, Pat

[AJNJ]

It was such a pleasure reading this awesome poem, Ms.Pat...

What a wonderful picture painted here! Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Kitty... yes, Autumn and Harvest time is full of rewards from Nature. Pumpkins and Apples are favorites when Autumn chills and warm Apple Cider is full of sweet secrets to keep through December.
tenderly, Pat

Ohhh Pat, how could you, do such a thing. am near to dribbling, hand me a bib!

Your poem is not only beautifully written, but is food for eyes and mind! Every phrase reminds us of the goodness of fresh food, of family health, of eating the best that home. made/home-grown and natural food does for people, old and young. To go into the garden and pick own veggies, pick fruit.. or smell bread cooking in oven and know that soon the house will smell better than any perfumerie is ~ magical,

By the way. thamd you for mentioning bumblebees, we must, must protect them..Thank you for sharing such a delicious post. Keep safe, happy and more, dear lady. xx

dear Em... my plumage is all puffed up after reading your review. My mother and her mother taught me to love home-grown fruit and vegetables, as well as homemade bread and Jam. Survival is all about Bumblebees. They are so furry and chubby with Wings. They are essential to a long and healthy life.
tenderly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Bees are essential as well you know: by talking about them even briefly, they sense Man cares for them. And without them, little or nothing would grow. Without food.. what then?! Thank you for all you share, dear Petal.. Hope well and safe under your roof. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... I think of you often and softly say a prayer that God keeps you in His care.
A candle will be burning just for you during the days of Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
I bid you adieu. gently, Petal x

[emmajoy]

Thank you, dear Pat. I truly believe in the lighting of candles. Are Thoughts gently burning in the darkness. No matter friend or foe, they have the same meaning: 'You matter,'

Hugs, dear lady. x

Better than Old McDonalds farm song. I enjoyed your imagery a lot as well as the feeling of reading this wonderful write. Tyfs

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cyprian... the crisp Autumn air spikes our appetite for apple pie and cider... bobbing for apples with Goblins about.
Thanksgiving Baskets with Pomegranates and dinner with friends and family. Thanks for being our Guest. Gently, Pat

Eating well, fresh fruit and veg from the garden. Cooked in the kitchen to ensure we are all getting good nutrition in case we fall ill. I love this time of year when it comes to food Pat. I frequently make soup. Broccoli and stilton, carrot and coriander and mushroom are favourites with my family. Nothing like it to help warm them up. Served with home made crusty bread. So yummy Pat. Your words are, a feast in poetic expression.

dear Chris... fun to write poetry about food... so close to our heart. Love your recipe ideas ... the Stilton blue cheese Roger would love. We had a busy day voting early in person. Be well and safe. Love, Pat

Each and every word of your poem is dipped in nectar.... I can imagine a sweet natured person behind this wonderful creation...

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dreamer... good-natured persons love the sweet nature of fruits and berries... you are the Cherry 🍒 on top...
tenderly, Pat

So sweet of you....

[Lydia Shutter]

Pat, you are a child of nature and your poetry always reflects that. The tastes of fresh grown fruits and vegetables are on my mind now.....and the fact that organic foods are healthy for us all. If only one of them would cure the coronavirus! Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Lydi... wish Mango 🥭 and Pineapple🍍 could be the Cure... or even Artichokes...
❤️ lovely to have your endorsement on Organic! gently, Pat

According to the Almanac... this year is perfect

for planting under a Full Moon... where Coyote pray for

a brighter day... and Wolves sleep in hidden Caves... until

the tenth of May. Beware of Spring Fever... and St. Patrick.
