snow in june...

snow in june?

~~~

yes, snow in june!

~~~

that's what i call it

when our cottonwood

sends out it's seeds

to grow and prosper!

~~~

this cottonwood

is the tallest tree

on our farm.

~~~

the tallest tree

and my most favorite tree!

i love it!

~~~

i love

that it is so tall,

that it has been around

for so many years,

and that it will be around

for so many more years.

~~~

i love the rustle

of the leaves
when a brisk breeze blows.

~~~

i love looking for this cottonwood,

from a distance,

when i come home.

~~~

i know i'm home

when i can see

my favorite tree!

~~~

and i love

that my cottonwood

sends

out it's seed

for the future.

~~~

i love snow in june...

~~~

when cottonwood seeds

float lazily

thru the air
and then

fall gently

to the ground.
~~~

i love

that the grass turns white...

~~~

whiter and whiter...

~~~

until the wind

and the rain

send the seeds

to their new home...
~~~

where the next generation

of cottonwoods

will live, grow, prosper,

and make snow of their own!

~~~~~

~~~

~

live, grow, and prosper!
