Spring! Spring! Spring! Spring!

Spring iz sprung,
Da grass iz riz,
I wonder where dem boidies iz.
Dey say the boid iz on da wing.
But dat's absoid.
Da wing iz on da boid.

MY grandfather used to recite that poem.  He has been gone for a long time now but I remember he loved Spring. Is anyone else excited as I am? It has been a long winter.  I live on the west coast of Canada and it is dark and rainy much of the time.  I love the longer days!  I love the sun!  The crocuses and daffodils are out! Awesome! 


Where did the weekend go?  I am tired and the week has not even started. Lately my cat has been waking me up so he may have to be put in the laundry room tonight.  I may even turn off the ringer on my phone as I often get wrong numbers in the middle of the night.  And with that, I am off to have a hot bath and then to bed.

  4. Spring. Weird. We have been in Florida since October. The other night at a family dinner my husband said, hey, Monday is the first day of Spring. We had to smile. It's been spring here all winter. Have to get used to that.
    Lovely poem. I'll bet somewhere your grandfather is happy that you still have it in your heart.
