February 2022 may usurp March 44 B.C.

                         as the latest 'Ides'

 After all, there's a new 'evil

 triumvirate' being invoked these

 days...

When the DEVIL carries you over the finish line, BEWARE!!!

 I stand with Ukraine

SIMPLY MOONSTRUCK:

 

THE GRANDEUR OF A WANING GIBBOUS

It is February, not June or September;

Yet, the moon is on display as though

An extraordinary harvest is shortly to announce

An impressive and important introduction...

A waning gibbous has

Never appeared so grand!

It is 18.2 days into the phase

Of  its 'post new-moon status';

No longer in Virgo's sway, this old soul

  Has entered the realm of Libra...

And I'm moonstruck

2-18-2022: HAPPY B'DAY TO A BOY WHO'S

                             A BIG BROTHER TO 3 siblings...

 

                                                

We also remember much

(precious) earlier days !!!

XOX, G. and G.

     Lots of winter birthdays in our extended family !

...and how could I forget this very sweet pic of you and new baby sister Kelly Quinn!!

OWNER of the LONELY HEARTS?

 

The Queen of Hearts

Prepared 12 tarts,

Each one a 'ruby-red rose'...

Some contained cherries

And others, red berries:

To whom they're for,

Nobody knows !!

Poem written by L.P.-G.

IT'S A ' BEAT ' THAT LIGHTS UP COLD FEBRUARY DAYS!!

                                         ...and it's soon approaching

  

I also have a particular connection to this Day of Hearts...

and why wouldn't I ?

After all, this is the day

that I've forever

'especially delighted in'

[Because my birthday

 Soon follows]...

And this familiarity is a little

   like getting a "2 for 1 special" 

...........

And everybody naturally

loves specials !

...and a particularly big hug to our little Kelly who will be

experiencing her very first Valentines' Day!

WE'D LIKE TO WASH 'THAT MAN' RIGHT OUT OF OUR HAIR!

                   BUT HE HAS TO WASH

HIS GUILT RIGHT OUT

OF HIS HAIR!!!

                      EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE ?

 FUGETABOTIT !!!

February 5th is a date...

 THAT  IS  GREAT !!!

 Remember, life has just 'begun' at age 31!

 

                                      XOXOX,

                                            Your  family

GROUND-HOG  DAY POETRY

[for we Michiganders]

Our state pet's

Not a ground-hog

But a churlish

Wolverine...

I ponder what

This wretch will spy

Come Wednesday's

Frosty scene...

Perhaps our

Roguish mascot

Scores forecasts

"Same as Phil"

But should HIS

Silhouette be seen,

They'll be TWO

We'd  like 'to kill' !

If, however,

"Michigan's muse"

Proves NO dim

Shape in sight,

Should Ground-hog

Phil 'see otherwise':

Only one of them

Is  RIGHT !!
