Sunday

I finished my final paper for my ESL endorsement.  SQUEEEE!

I wrapped up the evening with a bit of basketball, watching Iowa lose to TCU.  BOOOOO!

I snuggled into bed under two blankets.   WARM!

I quickly fell asleep.  ZZZZ!

Approximately 2:00 a.m. Monday

I awoke to a terrible sound.  CRASH!

It was an intense thunderstorm with lightning. FLASH! BOOM!

Allison came to my room to chat and joke.  GIGGLE!

I fell asleep again.  ZZZZZ!

5:50 a.m.

I woke up to the alarm. BEEP BEEP BEEP!

I rolled over for 15 more minutes.  GROAN!

I got ready for the day.  SHHHHHH!  WHIRRRR!  

I drank a big cup of coffee.  SLURRRRP!

7:15 a.m.

I placed all my bags in the car. SLAM!

I heard a noise behind me.  SQUAWK!

Come back on Tuesday to get the rest of the story!

Spring? SOLC #26

 I went for a walk this morning.

It sounded like spring.
Birds were chirping
and flying between trees.
Dogs were barking
at all the people out walking.
Squirrels chattered and
shook tree branches
as they climbed.


It looked like spring.
Leaf buds were popping
out of tree branches.
Green blades of grass
outnumbered
the dried, brown clumps.
Clear running water
flowed through the creek bed.




It felt like winter.
The "real feel" temperature
was 26 degrees.
The wind was
out of the north.
The snow piles remained
from Monday's surprise storm.

The weather forecaster
promises
warmer weather
next week.

Here's hoping for
true spring
to arrive
SOON!

Sunday Morning Symphony

Cardinals singing, “whoop whoop pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty”

Cars whooshing, rushing

Music flowing out of neighbor’s windows

Church bells pealing – inviting, celebrating

Airplanes accelerating

Children giggling, calling out, “Watch me!”

Dogs barking, announcing joggers pounding the pavement

Dishes and silverware chiming

Parakeet chattering, answering the outside birds

Hammer banging

Fingers tapping the keys
