Lemon Groves

On my way home from school, I stop by the lemon fields. I sometimes pretend I am a lemon and enjoy being surrounded by family. Then I go home and lock myself in my room. It's an introvert thing.

Leaving

You make it really hard To go anywhere When you look at me that way With that sad little glare I have to be a human Make my way out into the day But there you always are Pulling me your way

Spending Sunday photographing my favorite fruit::gumby

To Give

A gift is magic

Not because you

Have just received

But because

You have given

Best friends can walk in silence, comfortably.

The Teacup Ride

"Georgie, what are you doing with grandma's teacups?"
"Well, if you won't take me to Disneyland then I will bring Disneyland to me!"

Who are you calling?

"Georgie, who are you calling?"
"What?"

"If you can't hear me, you won't be able to hear Mickey Mouse!"
"Well, I don't speak adult. I speak mouse."

Coffee is Life

"What is that?"
"Coffee or life as my mother sometimes calls it."
"Well it sure stinks!"
"Yes and I hear my mother say life stinks sometimes."
"So why does she drink it?"
"Because she says it gives her life."
"Where is her life going?"
"She says work sucks the life from her, aunt Carol sucks the life from her, her kids often suck the life from her and sometimes I hear her say 'life sucks'."
"Wow, I guess it works 'cause she is still alive. So why do you have a cup?"
"I figure if I feel pretty much alive and have all my parts still to myself that maybe coffee will give me superpowers and then I can go around and save all of the adults from having the life sucked out of them."
"What if it tastes gross?"
"We'll come up with something else. Maybe eat more spinach."

It's your fault::jerryberry

You could blame it on the cat, but you were the one who decided to play with your dominoes in your cat's favorite room on your cat's favorite table in-between your cat's morning and afternoon nap. So really, it's your fault.

A New Year

"This year is going to be the best year ever, but to ensure we accomplish all of our goals, we must write them down."

"Hmmmm, now what do I want to get done?"

 "No, not that...boring. And that, tried that last year and that didn't work out. My mom said I should...heck no, I am not listening to anyone..."

 "I guess I could write down...ugh..."

"All of this planning is boring the energy out of me."

 

"This feels nice."

 "Pretty cool huh?"

 "I know, let's write a goal that you learn to fly."

 "Well that was easy....now what?"

Happy New Year! May your year be filled with bubbles, light and everything bright!
