The Joys of Spring!

I dream of Spring through the Winter months

It seems as I get older
The days get longer.

Maybe it my joints
Complaining and groaning
Telling me it is hard to bend.

I don't know

Just wish that Spring has Sprung

I dream of warm days cool evenings

Listening to the frogs sing  as it warms up

Watching those little heads pop out of the ground

to bring you joy a smile comes to your face.

As Spring gets close the days get longer

Here in there we have more sunny days

A bit of cheerfulness finds it way to you

The first blooms to pop up are my Miniature Iris

Reminds of a friend no longer with us.

Who would know the Sun

Would be taken over by the Clouds

Tis over cast and dreary

My spirit falls down.

Not feeling well to day

The wood stove a going it is nice and warm

Sinus acting not helping a bit at all

As I sit and doodle

The art shows my feelings

They say April Showers brings May Flowers.

Now its raining cats and dogs

Tis a dark and dreary day

I wonder how my poor little iris are doing

Afraid to go out and check

A few day later the Sun pops back out

I venture out

Only to discover that my poor little Iris

Did not do so well.

A sadness comes over me and I think to myself

Wow! Its Cold!

Out here!

Why is it not warming up

The Sun is out shining giving no warmth.

Went to bed that night

Woke up to snow.

That day it snow some more

Getting deeper by the inches

Snow is beautiful

Makes everything nice and clean

But oh is it cold to be out there

I prefer my warm little shack

With the good olé wood stove

Just a cranking a way.

Again my sinus bothering me

Been rough for a couple of months

Wish this sinus would disappear

As I'm thinking how bad I feel

I set down to doodle

to keep my mind off of me

What is that I'm a hearing?

Oh know!

The wind is blowing!

As it get stronger and stronger

I hear branches falling

In my mind I see the tree's bending

As they struggle to stay upright

I fear that my flowers that I have left

Are blowing in the wind.

Landing
Know one knows where

Surely where ever they are

It must be warmer than here.

As I struggle with this sinus infection

Finally went to the Doctor

Gave me some antibiotics

Hope that does the trick.
They say get a Neti Pot
Wash that nose away
Oh my!

For in about 2 weeks or more

I'll be off to Monterey

There we are holding our

1st Annual

California AFA Gathering

Where we shall have

Workshops and Demos

All gathering around to trade and play.
Dare I say I do feel better!

There you have it
The
Joy's of Spring!
