Spring, Spring, Spring (Because I would never pass up the chance to reference Seven Brides for Seven Brothers)

-
Oh, the barnyard is busy, in a regular tizzy
And the obvious reason is because of the season
Ma Nature's lyrical with her yearly miracle
Spring, spring, spring


All the hen-folk are hatchin'
While their men-folk are scratchin'
To ensure the survival of each brand-new arrival
Each nest is twitterin'
They're all babysitterin'
Spring, spring, spring


It's a beehive of budding son and daughter life
Every family has plans in view
Even down in the brook the underwater life
Is forever blowin' bubbles, too


Every field wears a bonnet
With some spring daisies on it
Even birds of a feather show their clothes off together


Sun's gettin' shinery
To spotlight the finery
Spring, spring, spring


From his eyrie, the eagle with his eagle eye
Gazes down across his eagle beak
And a'fixin' his lady with a legal eye
Screams, "Suppose we set the date this week?"


Yes, siree, spring disposes
That it's all one supposes
It's a real bed of roses
Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses


Each day is Mother's Day
The next is some other day
When all is King

      Me too! That scene in the movie always makes me so happy;) Thank you! I had a blast going around outside for about twenty minutes, snapping pictures right and left:D

    Oh, how lovely. Your pictures are gorgeous! I especially love the first one of the cherry tree. :-) One of my favorite things in spring is when the wild apple trees down by the creek bloom-- it's the most beautiful thing ever. But that usually comes a little later, so I still have it to look forward to. :-)

    Ohhh, you have so many lovely flowers!!! I am loving spring. Yesterday we got to drive home from church with the windows down and music playing and it was bliss. And your picture of the cherry tree is so pretty-I love the sunburst. :)

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
