The View from a Drawbridge

The random musings of an autistic bridgetender with entirely too much time on her hands.

Late Spring Fever

Yeah, I suppose it’s a little early for this, but I’m feeling fidgety. I wish it were May. I want to get outside and feel the sun on my face and watch the flowers bloom. I want to curl my toes in some wet beach sand and taste the salt air on my lips. I…

Yeah, I suppose it’s a little early for this, but I’m feeling fidgety. I wish it were May. I want to get outside and feel the sun on my face and watch the flowers bloom. I want to curl my toes in some wet beach sand and taste the salt air on my lips. I want to dance in the rain without worrying about hypothermia.

I want to smell the barbecue going next door, and at night I want to hear horny cats howling at each other. I’m craving lemonade and watermelon and pizza. (Well, actually, I’m always craving pizza.)

I even feel like washing the car in my cutoff shorts and bare feet, and opening every window in my house so that all my paperwork blows off my tables. I want my dogs to dance around my skirts as we romp in the back yard.

Abundance. Yeah. That’s what I want. Abundance and fresh avocados.

    My wife’s aunt and uncle have avocado trees on their property… about 25 minutes from here.

        You are welcome here anytime, but I am not paying for it.

        As are you, my friend. Some day maybe I’ll be able to afford more than a bus ticket across town again…

    Hold on to those thoughts Barbara, we have three+ inches of snow today. I drove home in it and almost made it up the driveway. Almost. My car will sit down the hill probably until Thursday when it may get over freezing. But I did manage to stop and get a Pizza on my way home.

      Yes, It may even snow here for the first time since 1989. I say, Let the Sunshine In!
