JUNE DAYS

JUNE DAYS

Four new born birds

learning to fly

sticking close

on Bloodgood Maple

next to feeder

full with thistles

making the leap

one at a time

the morning

my granddaughter

graduates

I’m picking strawberries

making jam porch sitting

Robins arriving

last week for Juneberries

already too fat

to fly spend

half their time

taking baths

in fountain

Nobody in any hurry to leave
