the Plague

Long ago there was a plague that hit Lyon France.. and only some who prayed a certain prayer.. and touched a certain Icon were saved from it.. as the sayin's go.. and on days like today.. I miss that city that captured a piece of my heart nearly 2 years ago now...

Days when me.. an mine have got a plague.. YES a plague.. ..ok.. so I can BE a bit on the dramatic side of things.. but we are ILL.. and coughin..and feelin awful
and yet...
just THIS morn, Mr. Robin Red Breast and two of his pals were in our yard .. chattering away... scoping things out..
We DO so hope they choose OUR yard to build homes in.. they'd make SUCH good neighbors.  They are ever so much the RIGHT sort of Bird you know.... and the more of THEM, the merrier... They do so cheer a soul.. even a soul that is ill.
it just SCREAMS spring is hear.. for Mr. Robin always sings "cheer up cheer up" and one can't HELP but obey...
even.. if.. one feels awful... with tissues.. and vaorizers, and lozenges... and motrin.. my goodness..
at least.. spring is here
we WILL be better soon :) we will indeed
