Within a couple of weeks we have a Buckeye tree that will start to bloom. It always happens by mid February. There are other trees that have white flowers that bloom by this same time. I’m going to try to write a song with a melody based on Spring since we are getting close to Mardi Gras, which here in Orinda is a sort of early spring.

I’m posting my “Friday Intention”. Pray for me – I’m going to try to sing! Check back later to see if it actually happens.

I woke up 
On the right side of the bed
This new silly song
Dancing in my head

I'm in a great mood
Like a happy school kid
On this sunny Friday
I think I'll sing

I started out
With a melody
On the grand piano
That was the Key

I matched my voice
With this melody
Note for note
Now let's see

Like everything else
It will take time
But first tries are good
They're never a crime

Chorus

New Voodoo Mic
Holy Mardi Gras
Spring is within site!
