SPRING FEVER

I feel awful,

 I'm cranky,

 ornery,

 red-faced,

 (and you all know I hate that).

My head hurts

I can't stay on track

my mind wanders.

I forget

I mis-place things.

When I can sleep,

I  dream about

Pulling weeds ---really.

I must be ill, deathly ill.

I call the doctor--not really--

I search the Internet

hoping to find a cure

or a clue to my demise.

I search for answers

and......

I find what's ailing me,

SPRING FEVER

it's real.

I have all the symptoms

there is no cure

except to wait it out

it will eventually run it's course

in the meantime

 I will plant seeds, lots of seeds, in little black pots

and set them in a sunny south window.

I will read about beautiful flowers

and draw plans for the gardens

I'll go bare-foot in the yard (as soon as the snow is gone)

I'll dig holes, lots of holes, to plant trees in

and spend my sleepless nights delivering adorable baby goats.

I feel better already.

Have you had a case of the dreaded spring fever too?
