why should we save all of our fallen stars for rainy days?

Magpie Tales 43
snuggle on up, baby
it's a snow day
dance in your pajamas
put the suit away


i'll make ya pancakes, hottie
you can pour the tea
we'll use the china
grandma left to me


let's listen to Marvin, sweetheart
follow his advice
let's clear the table, honey
let's do it twice


three cheers for our snow day, darlin'
let's not waste a flake
tomorrow's a melting promise
not likely to break

  4. Your family are so lucky to have you. I hope you are a teacher or something, too. You are irresistible. Sorry. I know that's embarrassing, but it's how I feel when I see you come up in my Reader.

  6. Snow days are the best, especially if you have someone to play with. Enjoyed the sense of both playfulness and wisdom--(what's smarter than flat out enjoying a gift you didn't know was coming?) Liked it a lot.

  10. *LOVE*

    Somehow I am humming

    "If you reach for the stars
    All you get are the stars
    But we've found a whole new spin
    If you reach for the heavens
    You get the stars thrown in"

Image via Magpie Tales i won't be leaving here with you nor will you be staying with me for any longer than you see fit that is just the way of it it is the silent refrain of my being i won't be leaving here with you but i will stay, until my time is done as your ceremonial chosen one no, this won't be my last tour though it is the first time i won't be leaving here with you shh, now, darling. this is what i do i see it in your eyes, our time's drawing to a close. please don't mind  the tears  they come, they go, it's true... i won't be leaving here with you Rene ~ December 8, 2012

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
