Spring Fever with a Touch of Easter

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

It’s almost Spring! And Easter is just around the corner, so I got myself into a mood to create a little video. Hope you enjoy it and my little poetic message. Are you ready for Spring? Do you have Spring fever? What activities to you look forward to in the Spring?

Lately, I have been buying a plant each week, since Valentine’s week. I have four now, all from Trader Joe’s. They are all lined up on my desk, waiting for it to warm up just a little more.

The birds have been having a wonderful time, especially in the mornings. They come by on the patio and sing while they gather nesting supplies. They are also keeping an eye out for my pots, which always have some things they take off with. I’ve been seeing this cardinal stopping by (not the one in the picture). Well, it is my late nephew, Michael’s birthday today. The cardinal is the bird to symbolize his love for the Saint Louis Cardinals baseball team. So, when I see the rare cardinal, I think I will just assume he or my other nephew, Keith, is stopping by. Heaven has two Saint Louis Cardinal fans, as I see it and add my dad to the mix.

Here is the video I came up with. Enjoy! And Happy Easter and Happy Spring~

Safety First, Honey Second

Engaging in the latest news, Terri was tired of all the drama, while at the same time she knew safety needed to be first and foremost. COVID-19 was not a virus to play around with and the whole state asked people to stay home.

Terri placed her less than clean feet in her slippers, gathering up the trash-which was overflowing-and carried it to the dumpster. Neighbors were out in the complex, talking up with one another, interacting with their neighbor’s children and dogs all while heading to the common grilling station.

Just then a storm of pollen blew as the wind picked up and Terri hurried back inside. Showering quickly due to the pollen, Terri made toast with honey, a cup of tea, grabbed her remote, and settled on the couch for what would be the safest plan for who knew how long.
