Com'on, everyone! Think SPRING!

A Sea Breeze

Softly the ocean waves reach for the shoreline.

Dancing back and forth...As I think about the ocean,
I feel a cool wind in my hair, and as a child running on
the beach. I begin to take flight, and sail through the
sky looking down onto the ocean...
The waves crest, and relax...I fall tired as I think of these waves.
Oh, the beach to be my home one day.

What a sweet chickadee, JC! And, LEAVES! Does that mean it’s going to be Spring soon?

Meg, until I saw your graphic today, I had never heard of the Great Willowherb.
I wanted to find a picture of your flower with a bird, so I did a little search.
I came up with only one picture of the Great Willowherb with a bird.
It was a picture of the Chiffchaff bird on the Great Willowherb.
I had never heard of the chiffchaff, so I did another little search.

Sigh....So many links - so little time.

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool , Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna’s heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, ‘Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you’re being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he’s dead.’

Edna replied, ‘He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry.. How soon can I go home?’

sounded sensible to me, good old Edna is a model of stability

I couldn’t believe it, but our neighbor’s apricot tree has blossoms. I wonder if those branches hanging over the fence allow me to pick at harvest time?!?
