Afternoon in the garden, #29

I am spending time working in the garden digging holes and planting. I dig a hole, plant seeds or seedlings, dig another, plant another. I look at the plants and seeds I’ve already planted. As they begin to grow they all look the same, tiny and green. But as they grow their uniqueness will become more apparent, firstly in their leaves. As we move from spring to summer and into fall, some will share flowers, some fruits and others vegetables. All the while they maintain a sameness in their interactions with bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, the sun, wind, rain…

Hovering above,
Obscured by wings of a gnat,
A hawk in the sky

    Another similar haiku came to me about this post:
    A hawk in the sky
    In chorus with a gnat’s wings,
    Ringing in my ear!
