Wanted!

Fields filled with sunny daffodils and tulips of many colors

and time to wander about

and gather a bouquet or two of them.

An orchard filled with the white and pink blossoms of fruit trees

and time to sit under their spreading branches

and just admire their beauty.

A field of wildflowers

and the time to lay down in it on a quilt

and watch them sway gently in the slight breeze

and reflect on the goodness of the Creator

and the beauty of the creation.

I have the time,

all I need is spring to start

(I heard a 'rumor' that will be tomorrow )

-

What do you want this spring?

-Blessings, Aimee

Tete a tete daffodils--from our garden

(I still want the field of daffodils and tulips to walk in though!)

Plum blossom--from our garden

(soon our mini orchard will be filled with blooms and I will take time to sit and reflect)

Aimee's Ants

Aimee's place has ants.

Aimee's place has lots of ants.

Aimee HATES the ants that have taken over Aimee's place!!

-

Ants that:

crawl on her counters,

hide in her dishwasher,

have been known to inhabit her microwave,

and

ants that have community meetings at her sink.

-

Ants that crawl on her.

Ants that smell really, really bad

and

ants that bite.

Aimee REALLY hates ants that bite!

-

Ants that get under the cap on her mouthwash--

Aimee hates those too!

-

Ants that keep on coming

and coming

and coming.

~

But the worst thing,

the very worst thing

that Aimee hates...

-

ants

that got into her refrigerator,

then somehow squeezed,

their small smelly bodies,

under the cap of Aimee's whipped cream

that went onto her freshly sliced, juicy, lightly sweetened

(with raw sugar)

bowl of strawberries that she was craving!

-

Ants have absolutely NO conscience!
