Monday Musings - April 18, 2010

Dear Dress,


You beat me. I recognize defeat when I encounter it. Fortunately I do know when to quit and try another battle plan when faced with such a powerful adversary. So you won. I lost. I will learn to deal with it.


Frustrated,


Mrs. Sister

Dear Simplicity,


Thank you for coming to my rescue. Although I altered you, you took the design modifications well. I think we could make this work.


With admiration and not nearly as overwhelmed,


Mrs. Sister

Dear Dreams,


Now this is really getting old. Just when I get used to dreams of a certain sort you go and change things up on me. Columbus, Ohio? Goiter? Puck and Oberon from A Midsummer's Night Dream? But the part that actually concerns me was looking into the mirror and not recognizing myself anymore. 


Maybe tonight you can take the night off, okay? 


Very sleepily yours,


Mrs. 5th

Dear Garden,


I guess we did most of the hard work last year. You were actually quite easy on us this go around. I look forward to you producing a bumper crop of: tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, red bell peppers, spinach and cayenne. Oh, and I haven't forgotten about you herbs as well. I thank you Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, and Oregano, for your glorious and triumphant return from dormancy. Please welcome Basil and Dill to the mix. Let's have a flavorful summer, shall we?


With muddy knees,


A green thumbed 5th

Dear Bethany,

I am so pleased you had a wonderful time at prom and that your dance card was full. You and your friends are quite lovely indeed. 

Love always,

Mama 5th

Dear Followers,


It is crunch time in the Sister house:  major costume designing going on, end of grade testing, extra hours at work, 2 major recertifications to study for, a camping trip to plan, a trip back to Kansas to organize, in addition to normal daily activities of cooking, cleaning, schooling and carpooling! Please be patient with me if I am not posting as much as I would like. Thank you for understanding.


Yours always,


Forever 5th


P.S. I noticed that after not posting for 2 days a follower was lost. I am sorry for that but real life must carry on as well.

Monday Awards Show

My gratefulness goes out to Jingle, at Jingle's Rally, for thinking enough of me to give me not one, but two awards. 

1st, the "Most Popular Poet Award":

and 2nd, "The Most Productive Poet Award":

I humbly accept these. They are very meaningful to me as it is validation for the direction my blog has gone these past few months. I will display them with pride within my side banner. Thank you so very much Jingle!
