For Cee’s FOTD

The first photo shows the fruiting bundle of the palm tree in full bloom. The men came yesterday to trim them off the trees. Pretty, but a real mess when the petals fall like snow to cover the surface of the pool as well as the grass and terrace. If the fruit is left to ripen and fall, it is a further daily chore to clear them away. The dogs love them but can choke on the huge pits.

Lifelessons
My perception see-saws between wonderment and worry,
all our lovely world devoted to such hurry
that in the furious ruckus, much is overlooked,
as if every second has been overbooked.
Take time to watch the sunrise and to hear the finch’s song.
Pick these things like flowers and carry them along.
Everything’s a lesson. All of nature is a book,
so between your rushing-offs, be sure to have a look.

Prompt words today are wonderment, ruckus, see-saw, perception, lesson and sing.

My plumeria tree had barely produced a few blooms when a strong wind blew this petal down like an offering to me. It’s nice to have it back starting to leaf out and bloom.

Weeds
They poke their heads through every crack.
We pull them out, but they come back.
What rule of nature is to blame
that the flowers we plant don’t do the same?
