Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog.
This week at Colleen Chesebro Poetry Challenge, SALLY CRONIN selected the words:
Eager & Hope
We are only allowed to use a synonym for each word.
Winter waves goodbye
Gentle breezes awaken
all our senses
Impatient we look forward
to the delights of springtime
Daylight Saving Time 2021 begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 14. That means we “spring forward” by moving our clocks ahead one hour. I will be changing my clocks Saturday night before going to bed.
Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day! ❤
Absolutely lovely Vashti..♥

I know I am, and I’m not even sure why. 😀 I love springtime, but it’s been a very mild winter in south Florida, so it’s not like we’ve been battling freezing weather and snow. Still, I can’t wait for spring. 🙂 ❤

No, I’m not, Vashti. I should, but I can barely keep up with blogging. 😀 I’ve avoided adding anything else, because I won’t do it and then feel bad about it. ❤ ❤
