DISHEARTENED
I was away last night
In Arlington for my sisters
Twenty fourth birthday
It was nice
But while I was away
There was a hail storm of epic proportion
According to my neighbors
Everything in my garden is
Shredded, broken, flattened
Devastated
Its horrible
I cant even look at it any more
The green beans are just leafless stalks
Along with the the peas
The tomatoes with buds just emerging
Are broken down to nearly nothing
The strawberries are lying flat
Battered fruits fully exposed
To the flock of catbirds
There are no more green onions
Left attached to the ground
I have been moving from one crisis to another lately.
There is just no rest for the weary here on Oak street
I keep wanting to call it quits
Cancel the Renegade show
Cancel the garden
Cancel, Cancel,
Cancel
But I wont
Life goes on
And what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
And better equips me for the future.
Or, so I keep telling myself

Ooh, that stinks... I'm sorry. I hope at least some of it is salvagable!
Oh no! I have a few spare tomato plants that desperately need to find a place to stretch their legs. If your plants didn't make it and you need some replacements just let me know!
