Good Morning! Coffee at the right, along with some water. I am coming off not feeling well. My little grandkids had something, and so___both Alex and I caught it. All are better. Now to get into the swing of things. Not pushing it. The worse thing was feeling like a very tired, ice cube with a headache.
I am working on my new outline for the instructional book by plugging info in and rewriting it. I am encouraged by having an outline.
March? Well, here we are! The first day of March!
TO MARCH
by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
Dear March, come in!
How glad I am!
I looked for you before.
Put down your hat —
You must have walked —
How out of breath you are!
Dear March, how are you?
And the rest?
Did you leave Nature well?
Oh, March, come right upstairs with me,
I have so much to tell!
I got your letter, and the birds’;
The maples never knew
That you were coming, — I declare,
How red their faces grew!
But, March, forgive me —
And all those hills
You left for me to hue;
There was no purple suitable,
You took it all with you.
Who knocks? That April!
Lock the door!
I will not be pursued!
He stayed away a year, to call
When I am occupied.
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come,
That blame is just as dear as praise
And praise as mere as blame.
