SpringFever

I haveso many garden chores to accomplish. The air is sweet with the warmth of thesun and the song of the birds.

I lookaround in amazement at the early display of spring.

I becometwitterpated.

I laughat myself at the notion, thinking of the 

sweet moments in the Disney movie, ‘Bambi’.

I wonderto myself, am I really twitterpated.

The UrbanDictionary defines twitterpated as:

        

…'to becompletely enamored with someone/something.

… theflighty exciting feeling you get when you think about/see the object of youraffection.'

Well,for the moment, the ‘object of my affection’ is my garden.

Insteadof weeding and cleaning, I begin to pick flowers. Their heady fragrance onlyadds to my twitterpated state.

I foundthis old blue and white flower container sans lid at a

Flea market– one in a big old red barn. It was wonderful strolling

Throughthe aisles finding treasures.

I thinkof all the anticipations and the joys of spring. The song from

Movie SevenBrides for Seven brothers comes to mind….

Spring,Spring, Spring

Oh, the barnyard is busy in aregular tizzy,

And the obvious reason isbecause of the season

Ma Nature's lyrical, with heryearly miracle

Spring, Spring, Spring.

All the hen-folk are hatchin'

While their men-folk arescrathin'

To ensure the survival of eachbrand new arrival.

Each nest is twitterin',

They're all baby-sitterin',

Spring, Spring, Spring.

It's a beehive of buddin' sonand daughter life,

Every family has plans in view.

Even down in the brook theunderwater life

Is forever blowin' bubbles too.

Every field wears a bonnet

With some spring daisies on it,

Even birds of a feather showtheir clothes off together.

Sun's gettin' shinery, tospotlight the finery,

Spring, Spring, Spring.

From his eyrie, the eagle withhis eagle eye

Gazes down across his eaglebeak

And a'fixin' his lady with thelegal eye

Screams "suppose we fixthe date this week!"

Yes, siree, spring disposes

That it's all one supposes

It's a real bed of roses

Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses.

Each day is Mother's Day

The next is some other's day

Whenall is King ....

Accordingto the calendar there’s just over three weeks left until

thearrival of spring….are you like I am…twitterpated – distracted

by thewonderful prospects of life renewed in the garden!

Comehum this song with me….

Spring,Spring, Spring…..
