Welcome back, Poetry Muse, I've missed you!

I had a new children's poem spring, almost fully formed, into my head.

I had used all my spoons up by 11 in the morning

After several wonderful days visiting with beloved friends, I made blueberry muffins AND completely reassembled my house!

I kept asking her questions about the different mutants

I picked Twin up at the airport and we hung out with X-Men movies and nail polish.

Asherah statue and lots of sevens, but also eggs and Spring things

I reset my altar both for the imminent arrival of Spring and also with some specifically Canaanite symbolism.

I took it extra easy today, so that the knee dislocation that sidelined me yesterday wouldn't get tomorrow.

Grocery shopping and minor car maintenance

I gained a good +2 or +3 to my spoons from a lovely Spring-like day on which to do errands.

I love looking up from cleaning to watch snow falling

Opening the curtains so that I could see the snow falling while I did a pile of house work.

Some Spring-like weather made running errands and grocery shopping actually quite pleasant.
