Spring Fever

Have I mentioned how much I love coffee? And this particular cup happens to be my favorite, though I don't tell the other cups because I don't want to hurt their feelings. I really think the Doughboy is the epitome of filled with joy - just look at his face!

And oh how I don't want to work today - I have the WORST case of spring fever! When I took Joe for his walk this morning it was nice and cool and the birds were already out singing. Seems like such a waste of a grand day to go to work.

Bird Songs

Oh, there's music
In the forests
And there's music in the glen
As the birds are warbling greetings
To the spring
That's come again.
All their piping
Is so merry
That the woodlands seem to ring
With the praises
Of the bird songs
For the coming spring.
Join the joyous
Woodland chorus
And raise high your voice in cheer-
Join the bird songs
In thanksgiving
For the springtime
Of the year.
