The night is long for some
short and sweet for others,
Whatever, it brings you
This Saint Patrick's Day,
Enjoy your life and toast it in full!

Before I start my day
procrastination wants to stay
sleep in, roll over one more time, hit that alarm
for a second time.
I listen to the gentle, cozy snore from Rosie
at my feet, I too
just want to curl up.

Just one more cup of coffee
before I kick start.
Out back the morning is cold.
A chimney from Willard's farm wafts smoke
in to the gray day.
In a simple stand of trees,
a horse grazes.

My lab stands sentinel at his top of the hill
Already, in the middle of his day.

Never try a bowl of hot chili before noon. I just got over sweating bullets. I was hungry, I was up early. So now dinner is going to have to be early too.

The weather is back to the 30's and we had snow this morning, but we had 60's for two days and it was really warm. I even have little waxy white flowers up already. My horses flew around the pasture, flirting with spring and I was all smiles watching them. This is such a lovely part of NY to live in and I have lived in many parts of the state, but mostly Westchester County. This is where it still made an easy commute into Manhattan and my husband and I bought our first house there. We have been on the move ever since, over 20 years. I don't think we ever lived in a house we hated, we loved them all and worked on making them better. I can vividly walk you through every one of them, well over 13 homes. We also love to go back to see how they are all holding up, most quite well. My husband even took my son back to Singapore to visit the old neighborhood and see his home there...it all came back to him.

Well, I'm cooled down from my hot chili flash and think I'll go jump in the shower to spare the world.

Have a sunny one!

I am over the moon in love
with life,
with every glorious
moment.

The good
the bad and all
that's in between.
Won't you join me
now and then
for a trip to the
moon and back again?

We'll pack our bags,
then leave all our baggage
behind, and view our world
as if for the
very first time.

Then home again,
Back over the moon
to tell of our travels,
to share all we unraveled.

What is it
with a flirt?
Do they flit about
for fun?

Is a flirt for real
Or is it fake?
Titillating to watch...
A flirt's flight
for love.
Something like a moth
to light.
