Looking into the field, we could see-
That it was filled with wildflowers, and so pretty.
.
It was springtime, and we were on route-
Hunting for more fields, without a doubt.
.
For at this time, of the year, Mother Nature is kind-
And, much more beauty is what we would find.
.
Families stopped along the roadside, and putting their
children, in mid center-
Adding beauty, to beauty, causing a wondrous stir.
.
Looking into the field, we could see-
That it was filled with wildflowers, and so pretty.

It’s been a while since I’ve been stung by a bee. Lucky, for me, I’m not allergic to the stinging insects.
During my lifetime, I’ve been stung several times, but the most memorable time had to do with a large black and yellow bumblebee.
I had been working outside, in the yard, and went inside for a while to cool off. As I sat down, and pressed against the chair back, I felt a sudden stinging, all over my back. Now had I know it was a bumble bee, it wouldn’t have been quite as bad.
Yes, it was very painful, but for a few seconds, I did not know where the pain was coming from. After figuring out that it was an insect attacking me, or vice-versus, I was relieved.
The unknown had taken over for a moment, and the thought of the pain had taken a backseat.
It took a small baby bee to bring it back, just the other day. I was reaching for something, and there it was. The sting was worse than I had ever remembered. One little sting, and the pain was front center. As a matter of fact, the soreness was still there as I was typing this story.
I know that bees are important to the earth. I just hope that it will be a long time, before we personally meet once again. That last sting will stay with me for a while. No reminders required.
“To bravely endure-
Brief encounters with defensive nature.”

They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.
.
It started in the forest and then it spread-
No one could have know what was up ahead.
.
The brave firefighters and the volunteers worked
so hard-
Trying to put out that fire, trying to stay on guard.
.
For weeks the fire raged, and did not stall-
Taking down complete homes and the trees
that were so tall.
.
Mother Nature had dealt a bad hand-
Striking much and many all throughout
the land.
.
And, then came the day when it was finally
put out-
With tired working souls, and many homeless
without a doubt.
.
They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.

The man and woman took a walk-
To see nature, simply to talk.
.
They went into the woods, filled with trees-
In the shade, there was a breeze.
.
They passed a squirrel, that had an
acorn in hand-
Quite a quick little fellow, colored brown
and tan.
.
They suddenly came upon a creek that
had run dry-
Guess that old stuff called drought, is the
reason why.
.
A big green turtle, stuck his head out-
And, when he spotted the visitors, his
head reversed in route.
.
All over the forest, there were many kinds
of vine-
On the forest floor, and up in trees, to
seek and find.
.
As the man and woman continued to talk-
They didn’t realize the distance, until they
headed back on their walk.
.
Miles and miles they had traveled at best-
Having a simple talk and enjoying the forest.
.
The man and woman took a walk-
To see nature, to simply talk.

The weather began to warm
up a bit-
Which led me, to the backyard,
to sit.
.
I noticed things like I’d never
noticed before-
For me, a nature surprise was
in store.
.
There were birds, that had
gone unseen-
There were things sprouting
from the ground, that were
green.
.
There were funny bugs, all
around-
On the trees, and on the ground.
.
There were limbs down, that had
fallen from the winter-
To pick them up, I was glad to stir.
.
The sky was just as blue, as it
could be-
I was grateful for the nature, that
God had created for me.
.
The weather began to warm
up a bit-
Which led me, to the backyard,
