Spring Fever

Forgive me if my bed's unmade
My kitchen is in shambles.
God has given such a day
For gardening and rambles.

If you've a job for me outdoors,
Dear Lord, I'm more than willing.
This is a day to cleanse the soul
And make a life fulfilling.

It is a lovely day like this
When Nature must be tasted.
No other need's desperate enough
That such a day be wasted.

The exhilarating air of spring
Restores my flagging spirit,
And though a sense of duty calls
I do not choose to hear it.

Joyce I know where you are coming from.  It is hard to stay indoors and do your chores when it is such a beautiful day outside.

Love Isobel
