Autumn in the Yard


 Autumn has arrived,
and all were working hard
to clear the fallen leaves
and tidy up the yard.

The snail was moving slowly
and chatting with the trees,
when suddenly he stopped
and gave a mighty sneeze.

The bees were not impressed.
"Who has time to sneeze 
when he's so far behind?
Hurry, sir, if you please!"

The snail was just about
to say, "So sorry, bees". 
He opened up his mouth
and... gave another sneeze.

♡

Featured: now that the yard
is tidy, we can be cozy.

It's good to have a tidy yard - there is still work to do in mine!

And they do look very cosy indeed! x

Oh dear, so many bugs going around at this time of year. The bunnies have the right idea, wrapping up warm.

Ann said...

Poor snail trying to get all that work done and suddenly has a case of the sneezes. Such a cute poem. Those bunnies are adorable and they have the right idea getting all cozy in that warm pouch

This time of year the leaves keep falling so always plenty to keep tidy in the garden/yard.
I enjoyed your poem and your sweet bunnies.

All the best Jan

Poor snail, sneezing his way through autumn chores! 🐌
The bees may be busy, but I think he deserves a cozy rest with the bunnies after all that effort.

Red Rose Alley said...

Oh, sometimes I get those autumn allergies too. No sneezing, but the molds from the leaves makes me feel awful if I'm out there cleaning and clearing. These little bunnies are just too cute, Amalia. Love that soft blanket they are wrapped in.

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

The bunnies look ready for the cold weather ahead! I hope the little snail isn't catching the flu! There's still so much to do. Sweet post! x K

Amalia, the poem is so sweet and the bunnies are darling! Enjoy your week!

Anne in the kitchen said...

Cute bunnies! I love a tidy yard and love even more having someone else do the tidying.

nicole orriens said...

That is so lovely! Both the poem and the bunnies. Though I'm now working in the yard, because I've read you should just let everything be. Which suits me very well, because it means I don't have to do any work in the garden ; )

Marilyn @ MountainTopSpice said...

Sometimes I want to sneeze like the snail with all the work there is to do with putting the yard and garden to bed for winter!! Adorable rhyme!!

What a delightful little poem, with the snail sneezing his way through the yard work while the bees hurry him along. The bunnies tucked cozily into their pouch are just adorable, and the tidy yard makes the whole scene feel ready for cozy autumn days.
