IT WON'T BE LONG NOW....

I saw a big fat robin the other day.  Don't see many of those this time of year.  It won't be long and February will give way to March.  And Spring will begin to blossom in all its green glory.  Dandelions will sprout and cause some folks to lose control of their entire lawns, while children gather them like Easter eggs for mommy's Spring bouquet.  It won't be long.

I heard the cooing of the doves.  Just a couple of them.  It's too early for all of them to begin their mating calls.  When they do, the air is a cacophony of wooing sounds.  It won't be long.

I have to get rid of that calico kitten that's standing at my sliding doors out back.  She's a cute little thing.  But she is not welcome in my yard.  She just showed up at my back door yesterday.  Her mewing attracted the attention of my 3 year-old granddaughter.  She was elated.  Her tiny sister, of one and a half-years, was scared to death and screaming when she saw it.  Betwixt and between.  One frightened, the other delighted. 

No, I did not let it in.  No, I did not feed it.  And no, I have no idea who she belongs to.  Such is the plight of living in a neighborhood of multiple homes.  If people want pets, why can't they keep them in their own yards?  It won't be long and I'll have so many birds, the cats will be crawling all over the place.

It won't be long and the daisies will be popping through the earth.  And I will be lying in my hammock, toying with the muse in my mind.  Neighbors will be walking the streets, children will be laughing and squealing.  And I'll be digging more flowerbeds (IF MY BACK WILL ALLOW).  What a mess my yard is right now.  It was never tended to last fall because my back would not allow me to play.  One more week and I'll be out there in force---bad back or not.

I'm gonna kick back in my hammock and stare at the sky through the empty pecan branches and watch the clouds go by.  I'm gonna read a book that makes no sense at all and think of nothing substantial.  I'm gonna have HayJae and Kinsey over and we're gonna have a teaparty beneath the trees and watch the bugs and birds.  And we're gonna lie in my hammock and sing Jesus Is the Answer.  Because He is.  To every problem, every question and every person on this old earth.  And in my estimation of historical perspectives, it won't be long till everyone will bow before the King and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  selahV
