Spring for Me

I remember first hearing this song when it was SpringTime. I don't even know if that's when it was released. What I do know, is our local radio station played this song, seemed like every morning-right before I head out to grade school. The song was in between corn, soy beans and hog reports. I always enjoyed the melody. Never much listened to the words. Still guilty of not listening to lyrics--oh well-that's another post. In the meantime. See a Young Fab 4--I wonder if they realized the depth of their musical had or would have? I'm not a big Beatles fan--yet there are some songs I like...and this is one of them. It's almost Spring and I smile at the memory of that long ago school age girl in Iowa. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Lawn Shock

As I drove closer to my house tonight, my jaw smacked the steering wheel. There by the curb, sat gi-normous leaf filled sacks, plus fallen branches I had gathered and stashed in another part of my yard. My plan was to put them by the curb tonight for tomorrow's Trash Day. Well, I got beat to that, along with my yard being mowed.

It's February 1.

I thought my grass had not grown much, if at all. Last year the guys started to mow again in March. Hence, today was quite the surprise. A nice one.

With a couple dandylions sprouted in my back yard along with robins hoppin' and boppin with mourning doves, the pigeons--which I swear, are the same ones from last year--and starlings chow the cat food I set out for the neighborhood cats--Spring must not be too far away.

It's February 1.

And I love it.
