The earth took off its winter garb
Its garb so dull and brown,
And donned its bright springtide attire -
A full-length emerald gown.
It buttoned it with warm sunshine,
Whose rays were golden-glowed,
And belted it with blooming flowers
That in the springtide grow.
It hemmed it with the creatures small
That wakened from their sleep,
And collared it with puff-white clouds
To make this gown complete.
The earth took off its Winter garb
As springtide breezes blew
That at this season of the year
All things might be made new.

This was fun. Trying to imagine a gown with flowers at the waist and bunnies at the hem. Very pleasant, unlike my car that is making a weird noise.We need to take it in. The words "Service Engine Soon" keep flashing like a turn signal.I did get the girls to school ok.Hope we make it to the fix it up place.I'll check back in.Have a nice day girls.
Good luck at the "fix it up place." I hope it's not anything expensive.....Laura just had to pay $750 for brakes! That hurt!
I just want to add that the picture you added goes perfectly with the poem.
Ok, ok, I am just waking up so bare with me. I love the poem, how true it is atleast for you up north. I have nothing but the same year round except for the chirping of the newborn hatchlings......
