Thinking Out Loud
I love spring...a chance to get outside after a long, barren winter and work in my flowerbeds. I love the warmth of the sun and the promise of new life as I see my daffodils popping out of the ground. A person's life is often compared to the four seasons, but can one really have the promise of spring and the birth of new life after reaching the late summer or early fall of their own life? Jessica said she was going to serve John spaghetti and Prego sauce for a week until he figured out she was pregnant...would my family ever guess about me if I served that every day for a month? I always said I wanted seven children, just like "The Sound of Music". Maria wasn't very old when she married Captain Von Trapp...Do you think she had more children but they just didn't make a sequel? I worked with a girl in college who was expecting her first child, the first grandchild, at about the same time as her mom was expecting her 16th child. Has anyone ever had a baby after their SIXTH grandchild was born? Another Rodgers and Hammerstein musical was "Cinderella". She sings a song called "Impossible"... "But the world is full of zanies and fools who don't believe in sensible rules and won't believe what sensible people say...impossible things are happening every day!" I told my sisters that I thought blogging might be for the younger generation, I just couldn't keep up. Maybe I can keep up with them! One thing is for sure, if I am going to raise children in this blogging generation, I better learn how to do it myself!

It is finally here. I have been checking everyday for the past four months to see if someone has posted on my blog and it finally happened. Today, April 1. I knew if I just waited long enough something was bound to show up. (Will I have to wait another year for another post?)
Ha Ha, I was starting to think I had two baby showers to plan. (I don't right? April fools? Ha Ha?)
And I was so caught up in the visions of working in my garden that the real meaning of this post escaped me. Oh my, my, my....
Perhaps Colleen needs to write another blog just to dispel any rumors and clarify any content that may be lurking out there in the blogosphere. Perhaps, Colleen, you've been handed a "lemon," a little "citrus sweetie" at this stage of your life that we need to know about. Blog followers are an inquisitive lot, you know.

Colleen, I didn't realize your health problem or I would have never asked you to do such a strenuous thing as square dance. I hope you'll forgive me. After reading your blog, I just love grandchildren. Thank you, Lucky! P.S. I talked to your sisters. I know this is not an April Fool's. Thank Goodness!
