Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. ~Rainer Maria Rilke
Hark! the hours are softly calling
Bidding Spring arise
To listen to the rain-drops falling
From the cloudy skies
To listen to Earth's weary voices
Louder every day
Bidding her no longer linger
On her charm'd way
But hasten to her task of beauty
Scarcely yet begun.
~Adelaide Anne Procter

Day Seventy Six 2012
.....three days ago
....and today. The best part of spring (and it isn't even officially spring yet!) is when our cherry trees bloom.
"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough."
- A. E. Houseman, Shropshire Lad

Day One Hundred Fifty Four 2010
An Ordinary Day ~ I Think Not!
Grand kids Shelby and Elijah snuggled together watching 'Spongebob' from floor level this morning. Shelby was softly singing a Taylor Swift song she likes and wrote out all the words to using the music video from You Tube. It took her over an hour and about four sheets of paper, but she got it done.
Chocolate pudding kisses at lunch at KFC.
Monkey see. Monkey do.
While visiting my mom at her place this afternoon, sister Ann, niece Julia, grand kids Shelby and Elijah threw rocks in the pond, then discovered cherries laying all over the ground. Light bulb moment: wouldn't it be fun to toss cherries in the mud by the pond and hear them go Splat!? Well, of course. And it was.
Julia holds cherries picked fresh off the tree. Elijah gathered his off the ground. I bit into a red one. Very sour.
The willow trees that grow around the pond are beautiful--fun to just sit under and listen to the wind blow through the long limbs and fun for making wreaths to wear on our heads. Someone (might have been Julia) told Elijah his was an emperor's crown. He liked that and wore his even when we went back inside.
