it's like i always knew it would be

it's like i always knew it would be
morning sun on the north side of the tree
a soft cool breeze exercising her
limbs and leaves around.
sunshine directly on the seat of the old swing
calling me to come out and play
the marsh dry and vast
green, green and more green
what a sight for tired desert eyes

something has knocked over our cherry tomato
and pepper plant...I walk outside and there is
Mr Bunny pretty as you please by them

I gently scold.."you better not have knocked
my plants down" and he keeps looking at this
silly person in his yard and doesn't budge
I tend to the plants
and he keeps nibbling
then goes on his merry way...

I have to smile, with much delight to be accepted
as one who shares "the great backyard salt marsh"
