SONG FOR SPRING

It's almost here - It's safe to say
I saw a Crocus yesterday
Its' colors bright - A lovely thing
My heart Rejoiced! 'Twil soon be Spring!

The winter blues will soon be gone
And birds will soon burst forth in song
The coral bells will gently ring
The Daphne yells "It's almost Spring!"

It's neary here! It's coming fast!
The Robins will appear at last
Oh Wonderous Joy! I too shall sing!
And join in Nature's "Song for Spring"

~ M.Garren ~

To The First Robin
by Louisa May Alcott, age 8
(1840)

Welcome, welcome, little stranger,
Fear no harm, and fear no danger;
We are glad to see you here,
For you sing "Sweet Spring is near."

Now the white snow melts away;
Now the flowers blossom gay:
Come dear bird and build your nest,
For we love our robin best.

Bon jour madam Amy.

Been plagued with vu ja da all morning. That’s when an old guy thinks that he’s encountering something for the first time because he can’t remember that it’s happened before.

I’ve decided that this is not the fault of our recollector. We call recall things as well as we ever could but our ability to “store” information deteriorates as we age. That’s why we can remember things that were “stored” back when our “store” function still worked better than we can remember what happened yesterday.

where spring is right around the corner...

Uh huh, sure.....right after the predicted big "snow-maker" storm comes in this weekend. ;-)

I am ready for spring!!

Wishing all across the fruited plain a great day and an early spring!
