Just What The Doctor Ordered
The weather girl, Sandia Patel with the cute eyebrows,
predicted freezing temperatures.
She showed “Film at 11” of smudge posts and big fans in citrus groves,
Our visiting student from Brazil was amazed and
wondered if she will get to see snow tomorrow.
She had bought gloves and ear muffs just in case.
I put news papers on the floor and persuaded the husband
to bring the potted lime tree in to the kitchen.
Now the little tree thumbs her nose at
the geraniums and grape vine outside in the cold,
while I dance around and sing
“Put the Lime in the Coconut..”
feel free to join me and and Harry
This is for Margo Rody who was feeling gloomy for lack of sun when she suggested the topic of the wonder of everyday thing. I hope this brings a smile and some light to here day and yours.

Gee, you should have had Jim take a picture of you “dancing around the lime tree”. lol Would loved to have seen that!!
I have been seeing on the weather how cold it is out there where flowers bloom in the middle of winter. Hope it warms up for you soon!! It has been really cold here in Oklahoma this week. The last three mornings it has snowed here a pinch. By a pinch I mean just enough to put a layer of snow on the roofs and the top edge of the windshield wipers. No need to get out the snow shovel yet. Mary wouldn’t want to use it anyway. lol
Keep warm Carol
