Thursday journal with Neet

' Sometimes I wake up grumpy....Sometimes I let him sleep'  are the words today. I wonder who that makes me think of !!

Rebecca and her friend Donna are out for a stroll on a lovely Spring day, they are chatting away and listening to the birds in the branches above them.

"What a lovely sound, they all sound so cheerful, they will be getting ready to build their nests and lay eggs soon" said Donna who had shed her Winter jackets and had bare arms.

"Yes it is a lovely sound, but surely it's not time to be shedding all your Winter clothes yet, don't forget our mums telling us what their mothers told them. Don't cast a clout till May be out." replied Rebecca.

"Well it will soon be May and then you can have bare arms as well" said Donna.

"I think it means when the May blossom is out, not the month" 

"oh does it, well I obviously didn't take any notice of that, and while we are talking about clouts what is you husband doing this Saturday morning" asked Donna.

"Probably still in bed"  replied Rebecca.

" You are joking, doesn't that annoy you" asked Donna.

"No not really, Sometimes I wake up grumpy....Sometimes I let him sleep"

At that the girls starting giggling and the birds kept singing.

I am linking this to Erika's theme of Spring birds on Art Journal Journey.

I laughed when I read your story. It is both cute and clever. The birds in the trees add the extra punch that makes it great for Erika's theme at AJJ. Thanks for another great entry and have a perfect Easter, too.
