Early Spring

It's early, even for a crocus.  

And the warm weather has me outdoors doing yard work.  

I am surprised that I'm that motivated.  

Because I've been in this funky mood - just blah.

Can't seem to get excited about anything 

- or more accurately - 

Can't seem to find anything to get excited about.

So yard work is a good prescription.

I enjoy the solitude, the sunshine, the warmth.

The dog wanders around while I work.

Coming 'round to check on me now and then.

He doesn't have to say a word.

I just say, "You're such a good boy!"

He's not flattered and runs off.

I hope he doesn't step on the crocus.
