Pine Sprigs Sparkle

A Great Horned Owl WHOOTS Bed Time Prayers. Pink Wraps around the Horizon. Roosters CROW. Cows moo. Wood Storks flap Peacefully On to the Chatahoochee. A Patchy Quilt of Fog Rolls off the River. Robins Sing Grace scratching For Bugs & Worms. Purple Haze Floats above the Uncle Doug's Pines. Crows Caw landing on Pine Limbs. Deer Graze below in the Clearing near the Family Grave yard. Branches on top of the Grape Arbor SHAKE WILDLY as A Pack of Seminole Bats Work Their way Out & Flutter on to Their Nests. Cardinals & Indigo Buntings Give Thanks Feasting on Grapes in the far End. Groung Doves beneath the Vines & Turtle Doves on barbed wire Chant Morning Prayers. Two Does Brush up against the Peach Trees, Knocking a few off Pleasing the Mice  & Bugs in the Pine Straw, as the Deer munch on Peaches & Peach Leaves. Pileated Woodpecker Laughs. Hevy Dewwy Silk Nests Weigh Pecan Branch Down. Mocking Birds fuss & flash at Squireels playing under the Young Ceadars. Grape Juice drips off my Chin. Yellow-Shafted Flicker drums on the Hand's Tall Oak. Magnolias & Pine Sprigs Sparkle as the Sun Bounces Above the Tree Line Exposing Damp Spider Snares in the Front Field Tucked Low in the Wire Grass. Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds Hover at the few New Crepe Myrtle Blooms. Orange & Red Canaan Lillies Stretch high in the Sky, tilting Toward the Orange Ball. Song Sparrows in the Walnut Tree & Purple Finches on Plum Limbs PRAISE the Almighty GOD! Sweet Pine Smoke from a Burn-off in a near by Pine Grove Tickles my SOUL.
