Autumn in the air                                                             Blush and Blight
Apples already ripe,         
Pears almost ready.                                                        Wee peaches high
Leaves falling                                                                 'Twixt earth and sky
Early.                                                                             No leaves in sight,
                                                                                      A swath of blight.
Yet I am ready
Summer is done                                                              A sturdy tree,
The last summer                                                             Of sickness free
of teaching.                                                                     But weeks ago
Put away the books,                                                        Has ceased to grow.
Toss out papers
Take out a pen                                                                Leaves curled and fell,
And begin                                                                       Fruit stopped its swell
My new life.                                                                    And now but blanches
                                                                                     On its bare branches.

                                                                                     Ours is a lot
May the rains come                                                        That differs not,
May the storms rage                                                       All blush and breath
May this be the winter                                                    Then blight and death.
That ends the drought.
And my twenty year                                                        
Writing drought--
May it end as well.                                               Achievement should be coupled with service.

-MW                                                                   To kill a killer is to become a killer.

                                                                          Forgiveness rewards both the offender and the offended.

                                                                          Let be what cannot be changed and let go what is gone.

                                                                          Chickens don't quack and ducks don't cackle.

                                                                         -JM

I want to have a fun garden just like the one that you have. I am pretty new to this stuff, so I still have a lot to learn. Personally, I think that being great at this takes a lot of time, and I am okay with that. There is no real way to get better at something if you do not try, right? I hope that you can teach me some tips to get better at this quickly, though.
