Lighten Up

It's time to lighten up your home

your spirits

your perspective

Let some nature in, even if

the nature is paper, tin or concrete

Add a little whimsey and fun

even if you still see only white outside

My roses have arrived

Little darling it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

humming it all day

ALL IN THE TIMING

They waited for me.

My never fail to delight Banks Roses.

Draping and dripping down the wall.

I was afraid I would miss their fleeting blooms.

Some years, our Spring winds decimate them within days.

My yard is looking pretty sad, this winter took it's toll,

and days of labor await. 

Today is supposedly our last nippy day,

so I am heading to the studio with my wools instead

 and will try to enjoy the last cool day

 before the misery of the heat engulfs me.

 I did not say warm, warm I like; 

it is the blast furnace, 

melt your mascara, make your bra itch,

 make you snappish inferno I despise.

oh happy day lol
