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

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

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
