February’s April Fool Yesterday, giggling was heard as joggers stretched their hams in shorts while children swung on retired swings that matched their squeals with rustic sounds Canadian birds headed north honking some ancient delight some red-headed mercury sought a height in February, unannounced and no one walked the ice-step shuffle ~*~ as if it were April 1, the clock turned as did tide and temp, and wind unkempt, whipped a snap grabbed a hem caused a cough became unstemmed whirled ‘round ankles shivering timbers geese U-turned smiles were gone runners ran, with long johns on winter returns a cruel joke of some February shuffle all bets are off |

How I do wish those geese would keep heading north! I take it you were lucky enough to have a touch of spring in Kansas? It just can't seem to arrive soon enough this year. Hugging you for this lovely.  In the midst of winter, |
