It’s Spring somewhere. Enjoy the pictures.
It’s here! It’s here! SPRING! Almost as exciting as the arrival of the new phone book, which consequently, happened yesterday also.
But, as is usually the case in Nebraska, Spring is a vile and ruthless temptress. It was sunny but cold and windy here yesterday, and there is a chance of snow.
Spring will show her pretty face soon enough, just long enough to coax the delicate flowers into bloom before smashing them to a pulp with tennis ball sized hail.
Then she will taunt us one more time by giving us warm breezes that waft through our wispy stalks of Earl May ornamental grass, just minutes before said grass is sucked up by the roots in a tornado…..
At which point, she will pass the baton to her even more cruel sister, Summer, who will bake us in a steam bath until we are crying for Fall and Winter again.
Funny how those seasons work. Always making us dream of the good times, wishing they were here, and then when they arrive, we can’t wait to be rid of them fast enough so we can have the next one.
Such is the circle of life, for everything there is a season or some such crap. OK, let’s haiku already!
****************************************************
Hasn’t sprung just yet
But it won’t be much longer
Till things grow and bloom
*****
Green grass, leaves, flowers
But in your yard man, not mine
I’m a lazy bum
*****
If I can’t mow it
Then it’s too much work for me
Lame, black-thumbed Diva
*****
Soon bunnies frolic
And scamper through my back yard
For my dog to eat
*****
Not really people!
I’d never let her do that!
But she does try hard
*****
Weather slow to turn
Some areas still snowy
But patient we are (yeah right)
*****
But it could be worse
Could be having tonsils out
Good luck today bud!
Alright friends, your turn! We’re still hashtagging for Eric from Flies Over Nebraska today, so hop on over to Twitter and share the fun!
Checked in and ready to go… Of course the weather is crappy on surgery day… #SaveEric2013 twitter.com/ericein/status…

Here comes that bunny
Hoppin down the bunny trail
Sneezin like a boss!
(In Sunny California anyway).
Ha ha ha! My dog might be able to catch one with allergies. They drive her crazy! They scamper under the fence as soon as she starts chasing.
My head feels like a pumpkin filled with pea soup right now, so I feel for all the allergy sufferers, bunnies or otherwise.
How’s your weather?
My dearest Cheeky
Spring can be as late as it
Wants to be I think
I prefer the snow
The cold days are comforting
As are the gray skies
Some do prefer winter, but I’m not one of them. I like it warm and sunny and green. 🙂
Different likes and tastes. That’s what makes the world go around, right my friend?
One of the things, yes.
moaning and groaning
will not coax it here any
sooner-so relax
It was either this
or write about how my husband is too lazy to buy a lottery ticket, but by the time he suggested it, I had already started. Maybe next week we can haiku about lazy husbands. 😉
this was not a comment on you–it was a comment on how I have been moaning and groaning and it has not done me a bit of good
–the lazy husband haiku is a good idea though
260 Million bucks. He was whining at me last night to go and buy him a ticket, then when we got into bed he asked if I was writing haikus about my lazy husband. I’m coaxing and wishing too. Won’t bring spring, or lottery money, I’m afraid. 😉
it is my husband’s 60th birthday today and he has been given three lottery tickets — none of ours are that big though the 30 million would be nice!
Well Happy Birthday to him then! I hope one of those tickets is a winner!
The flowers spring forth,
The birds and the bees are out.
And here comes the sun.
The flowers shrivel,
The summer heat dries them out.
And here comes the wind.
The flowers send seeds,
Scattering in the fall gales.
And here comes the snow.
The flowers hide now,
Buried in the winter soil.
And then the snow melts.
The flowers spring forth…
What a badass you are! You just did a whole year in haiku! I’m duly impressed. 🙂
Your comments on how the seasons all sort of blur together and we always wish for the one we aren’t in inspired me to go through the cycle! It kind of felt like cheating, but, yeah, I’m happy with how it turned out. Plus, I like being called badass. 😀
Spring is in the air
The grass shimmers with new life
Hey! Get off my lawn…
Ha ha! Where’s the like button for comments. I do have little buds on one tree. Hopefully the rest of them get the idea soon and get going with the leaves.
You don’t even want to know how nice it is here.
I have other friends in Californy, I know how nice it is. Yay for you. I’m glad it’s nice there for you. That’s why everyone wants to live there, right?
Yes, which sort of sucks…
I don’t rush seasons
Because I love all of them
‘Cept for crap winter
Snow still flurries here
I’m at my wits end with it
Bloom, flowers, damn you!
Ha ha! I feel the same way! It’s taking it’s own sweet time this year, isn’t it?
We’ve had another foot of snow in the last two days and they’re calling for more. 😦
Can we fast forward to Summer Plz…. I am freezing 😉
We got a blizzard for the first day of Spring – 25 cms. of snow, blowing snow & closed highways plus a huge accident between Edmonton & Calgary!
Oh that’s awful! It snowed here last night, but just a little bit.
