Spring

Spring has arrived!  Yahoo!  Warm weather, Soft Breezes and Chirpy Birdies.  Ooops!  It arrived, left and has arrived again!  Such fickle behaviour....  and yet, it's here.

How do I know?  The CANADA GEESE have returned. They've moved onto the roof above our next door neighbour. Papa Goose saunters over to where we can see his tailfeathers overhanging our balcony,  honks then flies around protecting Mama Goose and their clutch of Egglings.    He's a noisy, scary guy.

Grammy promised she wouldn't report the squatters until the fledglings fledge and head for greener pastures.  Pity the cleanup crew. *giggles*  Glad it won't be up to Grammy or her neighbour.

On a more gentle note...a reprint of some of Rondo's Poetry.  Think croci, daffy-dills, two lips and chirpy birds.

Birdie

Birdie birdie in the tree, 
Won't you come and visit me?
Bring your twigs to make a nest 
Then set upon those eggs and rest.
And when those babies chirp for food
You'll elevate my int'rest and my mood!  

Crocus

Little crocus 'neath the snow so deep
Wake up from your winter sleep
The sun shines down and warms your bed 
So ope your eyes and raise your head.
Time you push through, take a peek
For winter's 'most o'er and it's you I seek.

Buds

I see the buds upon the tree,
Nubs on branches, they are wee
But as they swell 
They'll soon burst free
And shower us with their heav'nly smell.

And let's remember our baby Sister.  She passed 2 years ago and we miss her feistiness and her beautiful blue eyes.  

Be kind, help others where and when you can and pray for peace. 

​Love you all, Etude, and his literary brother, Rondo.
