First Morning Glory

My husband left very early Monday morning for his annual three day golfing trip with several of his friends. They go to a different golf course every summer at the end of July. This year they are visiting a golf course in Michigan.

Luckily for me, though, he left the camera behind for this trip. He will be too busy golfing to have time to take any pictures.

That made it possible for me to take this picture of the first bloom on my morning glories which appeared today
.

(The half eaten leaf below the bloom is compliments of my dog, Max, who has been chewing on them whenever he goes past.)

Sweet Morning Delight

I'm just a morning glory,
wanting to wrap you in vine hugs,
wanting to hold you close to me,
wanting to hold you tight.

Whispering my love for you,
through lips of soft pink petals,
wearing my hearts on my leaves for you,
sharing with you, sweet morning delight.

Nice! The only thing I don't love about Morning Glories is that they, like Rose of Sharon, don't bloom until late July. It's a reminder that summer is going by way too quickly. Once I get past that, I love their starry centers and cheerful greeting to each day.

How very pretty! That's so funny that Max nips at them each times he passes!

Diana, yes, I wish they would bloom earlier too, but I really do enjoy how they have new flowers each day that they do bloom. :)

Mildred, Max seems to think those plants are there just for him (like everything else around here that he assumes is just for him! HA!) :D

Hello Life Is good! Some might think of morning glory as a weed--I'm not sure. Maybe because it is a vine and will take over other plants it is nearby sometimes, people think of it as a weed, but I've always loved the flowers on it. Have a great day! :)

Betsy, I only work part time hours at the library so I don't get any vacation time other than holidays that the library is closed. I'm glad you liked the morning glory and my poem. Hope you have a good day. :)
