I'm tired today, but not as muddled as might be expected. I spent a lot of the weekend in a muddle, cleaning and polishing in advance of out-of-town company arriving today. The place looks good but, boy, all that spiffing up took a lot of elbow grease.
We had snow Thursday, sleet and freezing rain on Friday, and yesterday and today it's -- are you ready for this? -- 70 degrees! I am not complaining. If I were ingrate (and crazy) enough to do so, lightning would surely strike me and snatch away the warm temps. Nope, ain't doing that.
There were two church shootings in Colorado yesterday. Church shootings? What is wrong with people? And while I'm glad they were able to quickly end the situation, when did churchs start employing armed security guards? What a surreal sign of the times.
And now, for another matter of great import.
Today is our delightfully knowledgeable fellow blogger G-man's birthday.
Let's all wish him a
with ... you guessed it -- poems!! I think it would be great if we all wrote him a little birthday verse (and tell us to what tune we should sing it).
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
The village redhead
Wishes a happy birthday to you!
Violets are pretty,
Roses are tall,
Happy Birthday already
To Mr. Knowitall!
You can sing it (loosely) to the tune of The Kinks's 'All Day and All of the Night.'
Happy Birthday, Galen.
**I just found out this afternoon that it's also the adorable ThatGreenyFlower's birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Greeny!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Man!
S-J, your outfit sounds adorable. I'm still in my PJs. (Chinese pink cotton bottoms with red piping and red flowers embroidered on the pantcuffs; blue cotton trapeze top with 3/4-length angel sleeves.)
Sorry: too early in my day for poetry.
pubnishment - What happens to a book when it's printed by a bad publisher.
Not a bad definition. However, I prefer the more ancient definition. Pickled eggs and a bottomless pint of Guinness at your neighborhood bar.
Here's to you and your guests.
Happy Birthday, g-man.
May you have a prosperous future.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY G-MAN!
Happy weather SJ!
Happy out of town guests leaving soon!
I want snow!
Happy Birthday G man!...sorry not good at poetry..how about a birthday HUG!!
Wearing today: Jeans, Brown wrap style top with a smattering of beads and brown ballet flats.
Yes, Galen, the party is for you. I don't think you're gonna kill me. Not today.:-) And may I be candid here? I rather enjoy seeing big burly men sniffling like girly-men every now and again. The green and gold is good, and the gray adds a nice touch, but you seem to be the Tan Man today.:)
Happy, Happy Birthday, baaaaaaa-beeeee. Okay, so I can't sing. But it's the thought and all that.:-)
/t.? You're not wearing anything, are you? Again.:-)
Thank you, Camille, and I think your jammies sound just precious.
Now that I see it, Jack, I think I prefer your definition, too.:)
I think you have much happier weather all the time than I, Kan. I wish I could help you out with your snow wish, but I kinda don't think so. Maybe next year.:)
Leelee, your outfit sounds both stylish and comfy, and I LOVE the description of the top. We're going to have to start trading clothes.:)
Ode to the O'd (G-Man)
He was born to the world without a frock.
A number of years before the digital clock.
God then turned and said, "Now to create rock."
:D hehehe. Sing it to whatever you can find to fit, it wasn't a song.
Love your ode, Charles.:-) I'm still thinking about a potential tune.
I suddenly understand G-man better now that I know he's a fellow Sag. Happy B-day, G-dude.

[Oh...Sherry is approaching!!]
Turns to pile of mush
That's a darling verse, Greeny. And Happy Birthday to YOU, sweet girl! You know what? This is also my late grandma's birthday, and my son is also a Sag. It's a small world after all.:)
Been through too many time zones to be wearing anything at all. Needed Me fix of RevBob. Hope things are...
STOMPY!
Things are pretty STOMPY with me, Scary. Hope they are with you as well. Stay safe and hurry back!:)
YAYYY! That is amazing birthday!
'Belalated' happy Birthday To Galen!
& Happy Birthday to Greeny!
