Spring Fever! Falling in love with YOU … again! <3

“...stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. ”

― Robert J. Hastings, Tinyburg Tales

See YOU soon! ; 0))))

SPRING FEVER - ELVIS PRESLEY

SWEET ANTICIPATION

Remembering that sweet anticipation

of childhood desires for sun and ice-cream

I never really understood until now

how far away it seems to be

Sitting in a small café I can feel the expectations

of every child who wants an ice-cream

on this sunny, happy day

warm; replete surrounded by such pleasant company

I beckon to the waitress

who clears our plates away

and even though I'm already full

from paté on toast; chutney and salad; serendipity

provides a glimpse of heaven on the menu

I order up lemon meringue ice-cream with two spoons

new on the menu it deserves a ballad of it's own

little pieces of pie that melt in my mouth so delightfully

lemony; creamy in a crystal dish

fluted for ease of spoonful movements

scoops of delightful deliciousness

washed down with ice-cold cafe latte

that is nowhere near as sweet

after my taste buds have been led astray

by that succulent dessert; oh, what a treat

I feed my face a few more morsels greedily

I stop before I eat too much

it's better to savour culinary delights in small doses

less is more, especially when it comes to food

too much would spoil and lessen it's exquisite rarity

The small boy stands still awaiting his turn

his eyes fixed on the strange blue ice-cream treat

later I asked and discovered it was called Bubblegum

if we could taste the sky would that it would taste so dreamy.

Marley among the wildflowers, a purrfect pairing...these are a few of my favourite things as well as Tom Petty’s song.

Marley usually stays within the confines of the backyard cat enclosure. However, lately with the beautiful Spring weather, he escapes constantly...playing hide-and-seek into the backyard amidst the wildflowers and tall grass. He is in his element and definitely belongs among the wildflowers.

A phrase from Tom Petty’s Wildflowers song:

🎶You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free

You belong somewhere you feel free🎶

Bloom - is Result - to meet a Flower

And casually glance

Would cause one scarcely to suspect

The minor Circumstance

Assisting in the Bright Affair

So intricately done

Then offered as a Butterfly

To the Meridian -

To pack the Bud - oppose the Worm -

Obtain it's right of Dew -

Adjust the Heat - elude the Wind -

Escape the prowling Bee -

Great Nature not to disappoint

Awaiting Her that Day -

To be a Flower, is profound

Responsibility

Fiorire - è il fine

chi passa un fiore con uno sguardo distratto

stenterà a sospettare le minime circostanze

coinvolte in quel luminoso fenomeno

costruito in modo così intricato

poi offerto come una farfalla al mezzogiorno

Colmare il bocciolo — combattere il verme

ottenere quanta rugiada gli spetta

regolare il calore — eludere il vento

sfuggire all'ape ladruncola

non deludere la natura grande

che l'attende proprio quel giorno —

essere un fiore, è profonda responsabilità

Week 12 - Springtime

It's spring fever. That is what the name is.

And when you've got it, you want -

oh, you don't quite know what it is you want,

but it just fairly makes your heart ache,

you want it so !

It is gloomy outside so I am wandering around the house chasing light.

"About this time of the year spring fever attacks the offending citizen and reduces him to temporary junk. Spring fever is more terrible than other fevers because it cannot be cured by swallowing a clinical thermometer and running out a few yards of tongue in the presence of a doctor. When a man has spring fever he has to suffer along with the knowledge that nothing is the matter with him and there isn't enough sympathy in the wide world to spare him one little tear. Spring fever is so called because it removes the spring from man and leaves him a mass of helpless woe." - George Fitch, "Spring Fever" (Thoughts That Throb), Collier's Weekly, 1914 April 11th

Yesterday delivered both snow and cold weather. But still spring is fighting the winter!

Mars and Saturn in Scorpius over a lifeguard stand on the beach in Wildwood Crest, NJ, USA.

Yesterday there were six monarchs in the yard, four of them were laying eggs. I checked the milkweed to find thousands of eggs and a whole lotta various sized caterpillars.

In protective custody I have thirty monarch caterpillars munching away on milkweed. Fourteen are in chrysalis stage and one has eclosed (hatched) this morning and awaits release once his wings dry.

The monarch in this image was hanging out on the pink Vinca flower then he went to the justice, salvia and finally the milkweed before I moved along. I saw my first Palamedes yesterday while I was out. I was unable to get a shot because when you chase butterflies, they fly away. Naturally, the Palamedes flew over my neighbors rooftop and did not return during my outdoor time. Perhaps it will return today.

Our winter has been very mild this year. I am thankful for that and for what seems to be an early spring. The plants are growing, birds are singing and butterflies are flitting. Of course all of that causes me to have a bit of spring fever and I desire to spend every waking moment outside.

I hope you have a sensational Sunday, happy snapping.

It's spring, the time when my world seems delirious with the blooms of beautiful blossoms - yes, I have spring fever! 😊🌷

This is a photo of the Manitowish River in the Northern Highlands state forest north of Boulder Junction Wisconsin. This is my destination on a beautiful sunny spring day to hear the water cascading over the rocks and to see the beautiful clouds pass overhead. It is a serious case of Spring Fever to say the least.
