Look in the background....My backyard is looking so good this morning! And what is this in the foreground?! Is it........Is it........Is it a bud?!......Wheeeeeee! Spring is beginning.....FINALLY!!! LOL Please excuse me for a minute everybody. I need to talk to my backyard for a minute......
"Helloooooooooooo Backyard!! And you too, little tree buds. I am sooooo glad to see all of you back again!! It's been a looooooong winter, hasn't it?!...
{Putting my hand up to my ear} What's that?....You're still a little soggy?!...Yes I know. But that's probably not gonna be that big of a deal today. You do know that some more rain is on the way for the next 3 days, don't you?!
But no worries! A little water is not gonna hurt you! Listen......if you could withstand all of those piles and piles of snow that fell in the backyard, trying to bury you this past winter,...
....you can take a little rain water! :-)
Besides, isn't a little rain and some thunder storms worth it for all of the beautiful flowers and plants to be able to grow?!.....Uh....Yeah. Thunder storms too. Sorry.
But don't think about that. Just remember how pretty the flowers grew in the backyard last year! The fabulous sunflowers!
The flowering tree on the side of the house, with those big pinkish purple blossoms!
Even the potted plants Mr. Wug was doting over on the back patio thrived back here!
I just wanted to say: WELCOME back to the backyard!!! Little buds......feel at home! Grow to your heart's content! :-)
All of you ground plants......Oh! How great it is to see you sticking your little heads up in the soil!!!....Hi!!!
I know you're probably wondering why I'm so excited...*Teehee*...Truth is, with all that bad weather, I was beginning to think that maybe my beautiful backyard was just a figment of my imagination or something! ^_^ I've been known to dream up a thing or two...or three! LOL
And hello to you too, little blue flower....plant....whatever you are!
I'm gonna have to ask Mr. Wug what you are! I wasn't expecting to see your pretty color down there so close to the ground so soon this year!! But I'm happy to see you nonetheless!
Backyard,...pretty soon bees are gonna be all over the place back here....
....and there's gonna be all kinds of plants and colorful flowers too....
...Maybe even a bunch of people, eating hamburgers and hot dogs, dancing and rolling down the hill! :-) We're gonna have some fun this Spring and summer!! I'm so glad you finally started showing up so I could see the possibilities in my mind's eye!!!....And so it begins!!!!....Places everybody!!! Do your thing!!! LOL"
Okay, now that I got that out of my system.....LOL.....I better go and get my day started. It's gonna be another busy week! Studying, reading, writing letters, on the telephone yakking my head off,....blah! Blah! Blah!....Stuff you don't want to hear about, but I would sure like to be able to come by your house to tell you about! *Teehee*
Happy Monday Everybody!!! What does your week look like?! What's on your schedule this week?!
I Love A New Beginning
I love a new beginning,
whether day or year or hour.
All the new growth that's now starting,
like the budding of a flower.
The beginnings of a schedule,
like a long lost welcomed friend.
I love a new beginning,
and so "Here We Go Again!!!!
