I Think It Is!...I Think It Is!!!


      And just like that...YAY!!!...the real Spring is here! ^_^ How do I know?!...Well, those aren't pork chops, or the 'white stuff', hanging off the end of those branches!! LOL They're a new growth of leaves...soon to be flowers! :-) ...


      We've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting!! And finally the lawn is lush and green, the leaves are quickly sprouting on the tree branches, and.....I said: "AND"!... :-) ...And is that a hummingbird I see?!...

    No! Not in the cage!! LOL...although it's a beautiful cage! ^_^ No!...I see the hummingbird...or should I say: 'saw' the hummingbird!...fly by the window a few minutes ago!! :-) He's so quick!!..."Sorry Mr. Hummingbird. Hubby is not as quick as you!" ^_^
      If you look close in the above backyard tree photos you'll see that the wintertime suet bird feeder is still hanging there! ^_^ Not for long though. The hummingbird's 'buzzing the window' is a clear indication that it's time for hubby to 'get-to-making' some hummingbird nectar!! :-) 
      He won't be making the nectar today though. We're due to get rain here tomorrow. So he's gonna wait a couple days, instead of encouraging the sweet birdies to come out into the rain with their 'humming-umberellas'. :-))

      *deep breath*....*cough! cough!*...Yeah, it's that time again too!...Allergy season. Ugh! I've been sneezing, dripping, and wheezing a bit, for a few days. In the morning my first vocalizations sound like a 'scratchy-throated' Barry White!! :-)) ... ♫ "...The first, my last, my everything..." ♫ ^_^

      It's also time...I hope, I hope, I hope!...for pre-planning brides and grooms to start searching for new wedding ideas! :-) Reception venues, dresses, tuxedos, shoes, flower bouquets, clutch purses,...

      Okay...two more cute items to share and then I'm gonna take my Barry White singing self outta here! ^_^ ...

       I think it's time to go! ^_^ Have a good rest of the day! ♥




Its The Beat

The syncopated rhythm
of the tapping of your feet,
and the snapping of your fingers
to the systematic beat
make the music that you're  hearing
(that you think is kinda neat)
motivate your body's  swaying,
and you have to leave your seat;
Now you're dancing back and forth,
and causing rising body heat.
And it's all from a beat-
Yes, a syncopated beat!

It's Not Pancakes, But I'm Still Excited!!


      No, it's not pancakes! :-)) The pancakes are coming though! Hubby's already in the kitchen!...We're eating early, and getting all of our other morning stuff done, because "Company's Coming! Company's Coming!" LOL
       I remember my grandmother hollering that when I was little, when someone was expected for a visit. ^_^ I thought about it yesterday when I talked to my sister and she said she was coming by today. It's been a while! I'm excited!
       But that's not the 'excited' I was talking about in the header title. 'That' excited was the signs of Spring! I'm excited that I'm finally seeing signs in the backyard that it's not only here, but it's planning to stay a while! :-)
       Flowers are starting to pop up along the edge of the woods...and grow taller!...
 

      Leaves are starting to fill in my little tree outside my window...
 

      Pretty soon I won't be able to see through my little tree! :-) All I'll be able to see is my colorful little birds...and hummingbirds! :-)
 

    There's even little blue flowers growing already in hubby's flower bed...They may have to go though... :-( ...He's already gotten some seeds for whatever flowers he's putting in there..."Grow, little flowers, GROW!!!...Maybe you'll be too pretty to pull up!" ^_^
 

     Whatever! ^_^ ... Ahhhhhhhhhh!...I'm just glad to see some growth...of any kind! It means that Spring is finally opening up it's suitcase, and putting the clothes in the drawers!!! LOL....ACHOO!!!!!....O_O ...Uh Oh!!...Maybe I shouldn't be all that excited about it!! ^_^
        Tomorrow I have something else that's really exciting to share. It's a gift I was given yesterday!...In fact, I might need your help!...Stay tuned!...And have a good rest of the weekend! :-) ... Now...PANCAKE SUNDAY can begin!!! ^_^ 


Waffle Snob?!

I love the way the pancake runs
right off the side and down my plate!
But on a waffle it just sits
like sticky blocks in a crate!

I love the way a pancake looks,
like it's soft to the touch.
But that thing with lumpy grooves?...
I mean a waffle, not so much!

I like the way a pancake
almost melts in your mouth!
But a trip across my tastebud with a waffle?
...heading south!

Buttering a waffle
 is like corn on the cob.
The ears are perked up,
but it's a messy, slow moving job!

One day I'm sure I'll like 'em,
if they can stay warm enough.
But for now, let's just say,
Waffles get my nose rebuff!
