just in time, I hope

Shiloh's not known
for all who's familiar
as one of
the all time
beauties
at least
by aesthetics

so
someone
best intentioned
of course

donated
daffodil bulbs

three arrived
in a plastic bag
before Shabbat

when the soil was damp
neither wet, nor soggy

so I
taking a break from
kitchen and computer

went out
spoon and bulbs
in hand

to our
stunted
retarded apple tree

dug
three holes
in front of it

planted the bulbs
maybe too shallow
but strength and patience
not my strong points

and then it rained
nice, determined rain
just in time
to feed the bulbs
so they'll grow
and decorate
my front yard

I hope
