1. Getting an early start. Whoa– math assignment completed before 7am!
2. Finishing strong (you know, when you do the equivalent of a touchdown football spike in your mind)
3. Help when you need it, the blessing of convenience
4. Homemade pancakes- flipping and flopping, maple-syrup-mopping
5. Manicures
6. Wide-open Saturday stretching ahead
7. Electricity
8. Peonies- big, bright, lusty, busty, over-the-top doubles, bursting open in a shameless color explosion, dripping with perfume, drooping under the weight of their own decadence, and showing off with unprecedented confidence (“Go ahead, call me a hussie- you know you want this!” *winking and flicking her petals*)
9. When a rhyming mood catches you unawares
10. Unlimited avenues of expression
Your peonies outburst was thrilling. And I have stolen the word “quirkalicious” because I love quirky in all it’s manifestations. The Annual Dance of Spring is this Wed. — wish you could be here to celebrate. I will think of peonies and you as we wave our scarves and dance around the old maple tree! Hooray!
