In our backyard garden: poems

On the day my baby brother is born we plant a tree in his honor

Haircut

Baby brother's first look at the night sky

Family picnic

Granddad makes use of the handkerchief Wayne Newton tossed to grandmother in 1998 and almost ends up in divorce court

Aunt Sissy will marry Postman Joe in the spring, here's how they met

Perfect

Jack-o-'lantern

Leaves

First snow

Almost Christmas

Granddad has a cold

The first crocus

The morning of Aunt Sissy's wedding

Aunt Lois learns to drive

Planting a tree for Granddad's birthday.
