Bushel of bountyPecans from the leaf-lovely groundNuts for Thanksgiving pies,For Christmas candies,For caramels, fudge, and divinityPecans for banana bread, For brown sugar pound cakeFor cookies and ice creamSundae toppings!

Late bloomAfternoon lightShines yellow throughYour red petalsMakes you glowLike flameLike heat left behindBy summer is inside.

White picket fence A housewife's dreamShut the traffic outBut let the light,Let friends,Let sweet wafts of fragrant air,Let leaves, and summer, And flowers, and sunshine, and wonder Stay.
