Sprouts

I spent a few minutes in the garden,

 seeing what had poked its head above ground.

 There are lots of tiny leaves,

 reaching for the sun.

 

Frost on the Leaves

The lady's mantle always captures raindrops,

but the lemon balm 

 and the violets display the frost as well.

 

Last of the First Snow

The sun always carves the edges of the snow

 into traceries of ice

 before it all melts.

 

Herb Flowers

The mint is blooming now, as well as a couple of its relations -

lemon balm,

and anise hyssop.
