Back to Normal Again...

I know it is a little behind the date, but, I wanted to start the month of May off with something bright and cheery after all the alliteration in April's Blogging A to Z Challenge. I wrote this poem for the Library Newsletter several years ago.

2012 Spring/Easter card.

Nature’s Easter Bonnet Parade

The Snowdrops shyly start the march
    Their white hats peeking out,
From under snowdrifts
    Or the leaves that blow about.

The Crocus follow slowly with
    Their caps of purple and gold
Waving gaily in the wind
    What a sight to behold.

Then suddenly the Daffs are up
    Across the town so strong.           
Their brassy trumpets playing
    A familiar Springtime song.

And Tulips slide up next in line,
    Their rainbow bonnets high.
They smile up at the cheering birds
    Who call down from the sky. 

Hyacinths bring up the rear,
    Regal in their crown.
The bumblebees come flying by
    And knock them upside down.

Hope you catch this yearly show
    The colorful bulb brigade.
Humans have nothing to compare
    To Nature’s Spring Parade.

26 Things - Letter Z!

Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

26 things you might find in my library on any given day.

Z. Zippy, Zany, Zealot Zebras Zeroing in on a Zenith Ziggurat where Zillions of Zesty Zucchinis Zigzag and Zap in the Zookeeper's Zone.




I'd like to thank all of you who stopped to browse my site and see what I might have in my hypothetical library. I do work at a public library, but, I don't think my staff has ever been asked for any of the above 26 references, thank goodness.

I'm a relatively new blogger, rather random in posting and depend a lot on my very wonderful daughter, Heather, for technical services and reminders that I have an audience who is expecting content. Getting in the habit of posting or scheduling a post for every day has been great discipline and I'm hoping I don't lose the habit. Normally (see Archives) my papercrafting and wordsmithing are more evenly matched so please come back to see what I have created in either subject.

The lettering that accompanied my alliterations is original. I have been taking online artistic lettering classes from Joanne Sharpe and I loved sharing some of my practicing with you.  


I definitely enjoyed visiting your sites and will continue to stop in on my new friends. Until next year, see you in blogland.
