Today I took a walk through Winterthur. Winterthur is a local garden originally owned by Henry duPont. The estate and gardens are wonderful and include a quarry, a fairy garden, museum, gift shops and many miles of trails. I decided to travel off the beaten path and write a few short poems along the way.

| Queen Anne's Lace |
Queen Anne's Lace
Fresh as the morning snow
You are more than a weed
 |
| The Road Less Traveled |
 |
| Clover in bloom |
Fresh green clover
Blossoming in the August heat
A sweet snack
 |
| Millstone floor in a gazebo |
Round the millstone
Fairies dance
Awaiting the summer solstice
 |
| 200+ year old Sycamore tree |
In the shade of the Sycamore
Heavy limbs supported by steel
Over 200 years of memories.

| heavy limb supported by steel wires |
I hope you enjoyed the stroll. For more information on the gardens visit www.winterthur.org
