Tea Prep
Mon Apr 13 2009

I'm pretty darn sure I have Spring fever.

Dreamy. Dopey. De-motivated.

(This is not Spring fever. This is your 'normal'.)

I'm pretty darn sure you are a buzz-kill.

(There's no need to get snarky.)

Sigh...

I sat out in the back yard swing yesterday afternoon, knitting and looking at the green popping out everywhere. The birds were all OVER the bird feeder and making quite a racket. But it was a nice racket. I decided things were practically perfect in every way out there. All that's missing are Sweet Pea blossoms. We are still waiting for them.

On Wednesday I am going to the Tax Day Tea Party at the Capitol and I have to make up my signs. I decided I can't settle for just one, so I will staple two back to back and I can flip them around. I hear Neil Cavuto from Fox News is going to be there. That should be interesting.

I'm taking my camera, the video camera, my citizen press badge.... [I just thought that one up], my cell phone and a sack lunch.

I'll be on the job to report back to you what it was like. I have a feeling there is going to be quite a crowd. Now I don't much care for crowds. I will be gritting my teeth and squirming a lot. But I'm willing to be uncomfortable in my own skin for a while to be there and record as best I can what happens.

Tomorrow I will show some pictures of my protest signs.

The first ones I have ever made in my life.

I think the anti-establishment people have become the establishment.

Now it's our turn to get protesty.

(You don't look like the testy type.)

Shows what YOU know.

    No, ( ) is right. You don't *look* like the testy type. I think your public persona is quite different from the *real* Yetzirah.

    I sigh when I read about or see pictures of flowers blooming all around. Here is all green, just green. While green is a whole lot better than barren, I'd like to see some colors. Maybe I'll just get a bunch of potted plants and unpot them around here. I'll just find something else to complain about.


    Bless

    I've got the dreamy and dopey part, but I am pretty motivated to garden.
    Unfortunately, it is still a little early for most things up here.
    But I'm enjoying the bulbs that are popping out all over!

    This is the closest I found to what we had and it was drizzled with a brown gravy of indeterminate origin *laffs*. The gravy is a necessity. Trust me on that (the dumplings didn't absorb the gravy, though).

    Laughing, I am one who did a lot of protesting in my younger years. Just don't get yourself arrested! :-)) I look forward to reading your report with pictures and videos. Enjoy that peaceful beautiful garden of yours. I have been spending a lot of time in mine also. Spring is so colorful and peaceful here.
