I dance on yesterday's snow... according to Alison, how did she know? I keep putting off planting. I listen to Spring chanting let me grow my greens- let me come into newer scenes and forget about the in-betweens. Let me dance on tomorrow's soil, put behind the strife and toil, and bring the potatoes to a boil, maybe make a pot of stew... praise be to the one who knew that dancing on snow could never bring passing shadows to thrive in Spring. For this is how I dance leaving nothing up to chance- and the garden will flourish while my body will feed and nourish and I will never dance on snow again. |

Hey you! Dance on! Dixie, let your spirit sore (laughs -- I typed "sour" ... don't do that. Oh no!). You have so much beauty in you that sometimes I think it needs down time to rejuvinate itself. Let it flower. Love, A |

Nice to see ya Dix!  My dancing has been compared a lot to Dancing Bear! (that would be from Captain Kangaroo -- a reference probably 9/10ths of the world doesn't get...) You go! Cept on snow  |

I'm not sure if this was intentional but this was the most poignant line for me. maybe make a pot of stew... Very clever the way you snuck your name in there also. |

Let me dance on tomorrow's soil, put behind the strife and toil, and bring the potatoes to a boil, That is a lovely philosophy dear Dixie in a lovely light hearted Spring poem. Take a bow dear Lady. Love Lindsay |

yeppers...time for a garden and homegrown veggies! (dancing all the while) that stew is gonna be really good with potatoes, carrots, celery, green beans, peas, tomatoes, okra, corn, and the best tender beef in town ...a one-of-a-kind Dixie recipe! Thank you each for your comments! Makes me want to dance some more! |
