I’ve taken off my jacket
and left it here to sway
upon the rusty arbor
while the springtime breezes play.
I’ve shed my gumboots and my socks
my sweatstained ballcap too!
to let the sunshine play along
and warm me, through-and-through.
And now, I think I’d better stop –
although I’m tempted, sore!
I’m not I girl of twenty now…
I shan’t take off any more!

That is brilliant, 🙂 I gather the weather is warming up.
Still chilly in the mornings, but the afternoons have been MARVELOUS 😀
Sounds exactly like what we are getting right now.
That spring sunshine is getting to you – just need a tune to go with the words now, and you can be singing while you garden!
I sing all the time anyway… 😉
I think spring has gone right to your head. Great poem! 🙂
Thanks, Robin… 😀
Right on! Way to celebrate spring!
I have never written a poem on the blog before…but it seemed neccessary 😀
Spring time has ARRIVED!!! Love your poem!!!!

With any luck, it’s actually here to STAY this time!
🙂

We won’t peek :-)!
But we can’t let the houseful of Junior Members think Grandmom’s lost her mind…have to keep up prentenses 😉
Love it. As a truly Real and Beautiful blogger, you shed your pretensions and let us see the real and wonderful Marie, and that’s revelatory enough! xoxo
I have neither pretensions nor modesty to hold me back, Dearie…just a fear of serious sunburns! 😉
LOL! Love it! Be careful you don’t get sunburn! 😉
Tiny bit of pink on my shoulders, but no more…I burn easily. It’ll happen at some point this summer – always does!
Love the poem…I know you enjoyed the warmth.
Hope you had some, too…my apple trees are about ready to burst. How about yours?
You say now more now, Marie. Let’s see how you feel when the temp hits 90Ëš. 🙂
This was a smile-inducing post, if ever there was one.
When it hits 90, I’ll wear a swimsuit and make dashes through the kids’ sprinkler 🙂
I loved that sweet little poem. What are you planting today?
Carrots. Got the beets, peas and lettuces in on Wednesday.
I still can’t leave you a comment on your site, Bobbi…but I LOVE that recipe you posted today!
Fun fun fun in the spring sun
🙂
You get the picture! 😀
Ah that was fun! And quite frankly, if you want to run naked in your garden…well that’s your choice! You may have to edit the photos though 😉
Tempting as it is, the thought of the MASSIVE sunburn I would get keeps me dressed…You probably inherited your skin tone from the Italian side, right? 😉
Also – can’t let the Kiddoes think Gran’s gone as soft in the head as she is everywhere else!
Hahaha – this is wonderful! I love it!
Thanks, Mama Shoes!
After a stressful week, a bit of fun is welcome!
