I Am Ready For Some Violets

I am ready for some violets, the sun, Dewdrops, wet grass, tulips, and daffodils Marigolds, geraniums and warm, sultry weather. My socks are cold and wet, soggy even. I slipped on the ice twice yesterday. My grandchildren live in this tundra. We can make igloos out of what winter is delivering. What about moving south? Sure, where none of my grandchildren are. Or are ever going to be living. No thanks. I will wait until the violets and the chrysanthemums are ready. In their own time, delighting me greatly when they arrive at last. Delighting in the grass, springing back into pretty greenness.

Thank you my friend. I had fun constructing it too, irritated that we do not live in Florida with manatees and man-eating alligators who can jump seven feet.

Thank you Mahtab. I love spring and violets so much! I am SO READY for them, I guess on Valentines Day week this is all I am thinking about since snow is coming back in on Friday.

I am ready to wear my fluffy zebra suit all day, and snore away. If my body would only rest with the zebra suit, it might be a bit more relaxing!
