Spring in Mars
is a little confused.
The beautiful Japonica
that yesterday looked like
it was playing the harmonica
now thinks it is time
to celebrate Hanukkah
with Veronica
and drink a gin and tonica!
Just a little silliness
to cherish the moments
that nature throws our way
each and every day.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
PS – How many words can you think of that rhyme with Japonica ?
the creative life in between

that is a “lemonade” way to look at it – eh? I captured it both ways a day apart – Spring will eventually come and stay I imagine – until then – having fun watching Mother nature being fickle. It is a woman’s prerogative -eh? 🙂

It always makes me a little sad to see flowers covered in snow, but usually they are okay. And I think the situation definitely calls for a “gin and tonica!” Thanks for the smile…
