I composed this little ditty Monday after spending several very happy and productive hours in the garden for the first time since my appendectomy. With a tip of the cowboy hat (and apologies) to Gene Autry:
I'm back in the garden again
Out where the sun is my friend
Where the monarch pillars feed
On red-orange butterfly weed
Back in the garden again
Roamin' the beds once more
Even tho I'm still a little sore
I can dig and weed and prune
While to my plants I croon
Back in the garden again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Runnin` to and fro
Back in the garden again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the garden again.

See if you can spot the tiny monarch caterpillar on this milkweed!
