Spring
2009
I saw my first robin last week while driving to work one morning. He was trying to pull a worm from the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. An advertisement flashed
through my head: Cage Match! Robin Red Breast versus Mother Nature. I was so excited at seeing his orangey-red feathers I almost drove off the road.
Each year I hallmark Spring with seeing my first robin of the season. He's a precursor to all things Spring for me: sun that warms your skin; wearing
lighter jackets; mercury in the thermometer that doesn't drop to single digits, even at night; the bright green of day lily leaves shooting up with
promise. We've covered the other seasons here at KAGville in the Coffee Shop over the last year, so we couldn't neglect Spring! Since the calendar
tells us that spring has sprung as of March 20th, and since I've officially seen my first robin, let's celebrate!
Tell us about your spring fever. What are you looking forward to? What signs of Spring have you seen? Share the anticipation of the season.

I want to open the windows and air out the house. I love that spring-enhanced fresh air!
I've got the itch to break out the Weber and start grilling. Waiting to see if the variety of pink day lilies I planted last fall will bloom. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

My mother is coming to visit this weekend and we'll put out the Easter decorations. That always gets me thinking about spring and warm weather (and
honey-baked ham and little chocolate bunnies...)

LOL, the emote.
It started a few weeks ago, the temperatures that got warmer, even if they are not consistent. The trees that are blooming gradually. The smell of anticipation in the air. The type that makes your chest swell with desire. (Yes, one track mind.) I am loosely planning weekend trips to the shores close by. Thinking of how to visit some friends. To get out on the balcony and just relax in the open air (don't know if the mice are going to keep us company.) I already bought clothes for the summer, whole wardrobe. I got one pair of new fashion shoes and want to get another one. I am thinking of hair pulling, erm, depilation. Exercise legs more in anticipation of sandy beaches and the cool water of the ocean. Also, to make sure I can catch the hunky men that will be jogging along the surf break. Our Easter is April 19th, one week after the Catholic Christians', and that means two things: fasting and then easter menu. Sorry, three things, going to church a bit more too. I keep missing the Sundays, why do they have the liturgies so early? In the past, mainly to avoid persecution, they held the liturgies late at night. Although, I do not wish for hiding from the Romans, the time schedule would fit me better. And to go back to signs, Spring is the hallmark of change. And we feel it, is it in our bodies, or nature around us. It's always something amazing. Happy Spring KAGville! |

Honeysuckles!! They are hard to find nowadays. Also the Danilion (yellow flowers that Rose has at the open of this thread) They smell so good! I LOVE those
flowers. Warm weather, shirtless men........I mean half naked men working in the yard I mean........... ~LOL~ On a little more serious note, taking Patrick
out to play on the playgrounds letting him get dirty like boys are suppposed to be. ~LOL~ Driving with my windows down, wind in my face, swimming pools tanned
ripped bodies hanging around *slaps self* I should be ashamed!

Mulching! At Rittenhouse square, close to my place, they brought a mountain of mulch, and on top, it must have been the workers, they left a lone daffodil. I
saw the set up as I was walking to the train station on my way to work, last Wednesday. What a fun, pleasant touch.

Yes, how neat to see such a whimsical touch. Truly a sign of spring.
For me, tis tulips. Gosh I forget how much I love fresh flowers until I buy some or receive them, and I remember what joy they give me. A group of orthopaedic surgeons sent me roses last week. I think the last time I got flowers from a guy was when I got married. LOL Anyway, it was an impromptu expression of appreciation on their part and it took me completely by surprise. The floral arrangement (roses, tulips and rom..., um, rommoccu... um, some name I can't remember) is just beautiful. I brought it home last Friday. The tulips have opened and I removed them into their own container over the weekend.

I know...I keep all my things tidy. Everything, everywhere. And I yell at other people when they don't keep up.
Such a bitch...tsk tsk. |

There are teeny-tiny little sprouts of green where the day lilies are planted!

Had a really nice weekend. Made up an Easter basket, had the holiday dinner with all the decorations out. And my dining room shelf is in (minus the decorative
top), so that was a plus.
Yours is coming up this weekend, right? I think I remember reading your plans elsewhere at the coffee shop. Sounds like a great weekend. I'm seeing so many robins out now, it's nice to see their cheery red feathers to remind me that better (and warmer) temperatures are coming.

Dia dons her mistress outfit, whistles to Richard and Richard whistles to Hellboy who shows him the finger.
Dia shakes her head and goes to do the task herself. Men! Rose is moving back and forth on the leather armchair, obviously restless. Without any warning or noise, Dia places a mask over Rose's nose and she faints after a few seconds. Hellboy and Richard, finally having settled yet another matcho contest of whose finger is longer (hellboy) and redder (doh!), are there to get the VP of KAG enterprises to the dungeon. Rose awakes at a very awkward position. It gets even worse when she realizes that the clothes she wore this morning are draped over a bench at the other end of the room. She bits down on her lips under the gag, wondering who did this. Then out of the shaddows, two male figures appear.... ---- Rose, please fill in the gaps, I am not sure who you like a lot these days. Dia holds up shield just in case Rose freaks out....lolol I am ashamed of my one track mind. Everything is sex for me... Cucumbers...sex Hand cream...doh sex Purell....after sex... Calendar...time for sex... Little magnets for notes...hmm...I get sex in the head again, but don't know why... |
