Good for me...

So, I finally got to ride my horse yesterday. YAY!!!! It's about freakin' time, too. I was planning on doing it Wednesday, while I had the entire day off. But, found myself cleaning the kitchen instead. How screwed up is that?! Oh well, had to be done, and it gave me enormous piece of mind to have it taken care of (the clean kitchen, I mean. The horse is a more soulful matter). So, yesterday, I got Neil to daycare and took a bit of time for myself. Funny how I'll tell myself that I can just ride for a few minutes...15 is better than nothing, right? But, when I check the clock when I get back in the car, it's always right at about an hour. Seems like I enjoy myself so much, I lose track of time. At least I tell myself to keep it short, so I'm not there all afternoon. I was thinking about taking a week long trip with Audrey and a friend to Nebraska in September. But, I don't think that's going to happen. Neil starts 1st grade the week before that, and I'd like to keep myself at least geographically available. Maybe next year????

Neil has a violin recital tomorrow. And, my friend Kim, sweetheart that she is, is letting us borrow a camcorder to record the event. Now, who's smarter? Me or a video recorder? Could be scary.

I found a couple more really great poems. e.e. cummings this time. He's not Frost, but he's still REALLY good.

since feeling is first
e.e. cummings

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you.
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
you eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis


Good Stuff. I think, anyway. Gary's not much for poetry. But, isn't that just a great thought?wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
