Doctor's Orders

from the ABC set

Herewith a brief description
of Doctor Vernal's best prescription;
get yourself into the garden,
feel the mud begin to harden,
consider storing your wellington boots
and think of counting the pale green shoots.
Do not mention the word 'recovery'-
smell the flowers, make the discovery:
some things of value really are free,
enjoy that blossom on the nearest tree.

So you've met Spartacus. I'm sure he says such things. "Enjoy that blossom on the nearest tree" while he enjoys that bosom on the nearest nurse!!

I am Spartacus.

That's what happens when you give a man your tunica. *sigh*

Gah, the last two summers I have needed my wellies throughout for various activities outside...I hope this one will be different!

Come on, sun!

Ewan, you're alright - no mud for you, I expect!

Took your advice and stored the wellies, ran out in the garden in my bare feet, determined to find spring; got frostbite:( But thanks anyway, it's the thought that counts LOL! Shoots covered in snow!
