twenty days til Spring
can ya dig it? 
if i didn't need my hat
i'd fling it
twenty days
'til darlin' buds
be springin' all up
 in neighborhoods
but keep your boots on
 baby get ready
 for floods
cuz mountains of snow
make puddles of mud

    spring when the world is mud-
    lucious and the little lame balloon man whistles far and wee"

    Over here -- yoo-hoo! -- in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we raise our pinched, pale faces to the sun and cling desparately to the calendar. Tomorrow is March 1: surely winter can't hang on for too much longer?

    I loved and laughed here today. Wonderful. By the way, I live in Arizona. We are not facing the thaw-flood scene, but had unprecedented, extended cold that destroyed much of the landscape. We will be digging our way through spring.

    Although the weather here is 60 degrees. I remember an ice storm in April. Our boots are still out.

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
