Marius....

Spring has arrived. As I sit on my chair and gaze out the window at my Entertainment Center I see....Mr and Mrs. Cardinal (she rather dull looking, he -- so dashing and bright), two pairs of mourning doves -- cooing and planning their nests, squirrels -- frolicking and flirting -- two by two. And I, by myself, wondering..."where's the mate for me..."

Oh Marius, your beautiful words stir my soul and quiet my nervous heart! You make me feel as aquiver as the new earth, my feelings sprouting like the crocuses and tulips, my heart overflowing like the rain swollen streams!

You are, as my papa would say, a love bucket! I will post your passionate photo on my chair and when I feel envy of the wild pairs outside all I'll need to do is look at your soulful green eyes, your winsome smile and I'll be comforted.

I am your spring bud, your daffodil, your catnip blossom...
