springtime
Since we have been back in our house in Virgina, we have had some new inhabitants in our house. You know it’s spring when you can’t go into the kitchen without seeing about fifty thousand ants. This year they seem to be much worse.
The best thing about spring is the flowers. Here in VA it’s the daffodils, tulips, and pear trees. In Texas (my heartland) it’s Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes. We took many a special trip (out of the city) back in the 80’s and early 90’s to visit the wildflowers of the Texas country side.
My sister just sent me this picture, and my heart started singing Tom Petty right back to her.
you belong among the wildflowers. you belong in a boat out at sea. (a sailboat) sail away, kill off the hours. you belong somewhere you feel free.
run away, find you a lover. go away somewhere all bright and new. i have seen no other who compare (air air aires) with you.
you belong among the wildflowers. you belong in a boat out at sea. you belong with your love on your arm. you belong somewhere you feel free.
run away, go find a lover. run away, let your heart be your guide. you deserve the deepest of cover. you belong in that home by and by.
you belong among the wildflowers. you belong somewhere close to me. far away from your trouble and worry. you belong somewhere you feel free.
