Spring is springing!

There's a cloud
There's a cloud
A blue sky darkening
That veils the light of the sun
And foretells the rain
But there's a bird
There are birds
And some are singing

To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring

It is cold
It is cold
I've had the feeling
At the heart and in the core
The roots of all things
But there's a bud there's a bulb
It will be blooming
To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring

Today

is the

first day

of

Spring!

Don't

you

just

love

Spring?

Everything

is

all

SO

new

again!

.....

We

had

a wicked rain

last

night

in SLO -

like

four inches

in

24 hours!

(that's a lot for us!!!)

but

the

rain,

even the wicked rain

makes

fresh air

and

happy

flowers

cheery

Johnny Jump ups

pansies

kale

daisies

so happy!!!

A

few days

ago

John

planted

my

old bird cages

full of

flowers

I think

he

quietly

remarked

that

my idea to

plant flowers

in the

old

cages

was

a

REALLY

good one

since

we

have

had

numerous

canaries and finches

that

literally "flew the coop" when I was cleaning the cage

(oooops)

Last

night

I woke up

in

a

scary

panic,

or was it a hot flash?

during

the

wicked

rain storm

worrying

that

my happily planted

bird cages

might

blow over

and

be

T O A S T

joyfully

they

were

P E R F E C T !!

sadly,

though,

the wicked

four inches

of rain

caused

a

about

four inches

of

flood

water

in

Petit's

kitchen

.......not so fun

the

old

bicycle was

upright

and it's flowers

happy

"But there's a bird
There are birds
And some are singing"

on

the

first

day

of

Spring!
