There's something about the smell of spring
That makes my heart just start to sing.
I click my heels in dancing shoes,
Carpe' Diem ~ there's no time to lose.

    

I liken each spring to a pair of new shoes,
There's nothing better to fix my blues.
Spring brings bounce to my wintered step
Buds and bulbs supply some much needed pep.

    

Spring lifts my spirit so darkened and down,
Like new shoes can chase away my frown.
So ~ in ladybug boots I'll just puddle the rain
Waiting to sniff apple blossoms once again.

    

Carpe' Diem

Well, Sharon, I've been calling a mutual friend of mine ladybug for awhile, but maybe I should be calling you that, too!  Very cute boots!  And....very enjoyable poem!   .....jo

you do have the cutest stuff!

grins...

I sure hope Ron sees this'n.

It's sure to make him a little "buggy".



Much fun, you!--and oh yes, I have another one, if I can do it justice.

It's very hard to "out-cute" you tho!

smiling--I treasure my ladybug magnets too.



Thanks for playing along--and hey? Can you fly in those things?

Actually I was looking at the boots, thought of both you and Ron when I did this silly thing.  Remember the boat full of bugs Karen?  I wear these boots when I walk Annie in the rain, and you would not believe the people that stop to talk to me about them.  I can't wait to hear the comments the next ones I ordered are going to bring.        

Go ahead, and get some.  You will feel like a kid again.  I know I sure do as I enjoy my second childhood, while spuddlin' as Nan calls it in this poem of hers.    Spuddlin'

Here's the site where you can buy the boots:

Ah Sharon!  This is as cute as a bug!  
Lady bug that is!
Thanks so much for joining in the challenge.
This has been great fun and brought a lot of smiles.

Awww, very nice.
Those shoes are ADORABLE!
I was looking at some one day,

Men, pft.

Thank you all so very much.  You're so nice to comment, as I have through lack of time, forgotten how to even write my name.  I loved my grandkids boots (like yours Marge,) so when I found they had them for adults, I was hooked!  I have the bees on the way, and own the frogs, LOL.  In Vancouver, you can never have enough pairs of cute boots.

They sell them for men too!

When Annie wants some cuddlin'
Put on those boots for spuddlin'
The two of you will draw a crowd
All smil'in out loud

Lady - who says you need rain?  Heck we wear UGG boats with bikinis here   I double-dare you.  They would be great at the beach right?

Nan, Annie much prefers the bees, or frogs I think, and Nan ... they have ones with lobsters on them. ((*^))

The boots are so cute, Sharon.

A few weeks ago I bought a ladybug ornament from a craft show, for a memento, because the very first lesson with the  first graders this year was "Doubles" in Math, using ladybugs and the spots on their wings.

It was American Education week so we had parents and grandparents in the room to help put the spots on. Wish I had had those boots

Ah Maureen, those boots are just a an internet click away, and so next time use bumblebees, and I guarantee you that you will be hit of the school!  Enjoy them when you do buy them.
