February/Winter Flowers

I picked the flower puzzle to do () because there's just something about flowersin winter that can't be beat!! even the pieces look like a handful of petals tossed on a garden path!So, let's celebrate the last day of February with winter flowerseven if they are painted on cardboard💖😊 They kindle wild dream-pleasure for gardens not planted yetThey gleam with priceless treasure of fond memories to beThey rouse a youthful yearning in the appetites they whetFor perfumed pinks and purples heady with sweet nectar-teaAnd like children with rosy faces, kissed by brisk wind-chillThey bloom a little rosier on winter’s windowsill They delight hearts with visions of a sunny summer’s dayWhere butterflies and laughter flit and flirt with honey beeThey make indoors feel friendlier while winter whiles awayAs we stroll perfect gardens in a plot of fantasyA welcome splash of color on a dolor afternoonThey garnish kitchen tables with a glint of May or June They cheer us with old fashioned charm and make us humbly gladTo be alive where flowers wait to burst the bud with bloomAs blush and gold menageries drive poets gently madWith so much beauty to behold from Mother Nature’s loomPrimed with a plethora of plumes no tombs can keep at bay Unfolding outdoor living rooms still snuggly tucked away © Janet Martin Speaking of outdoor living roomsI would love to try this come spring!
