Spring, Spring, Spring!!

Have you ever seen the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? Well, in our family it's a favorite movie, everyone likes it, we all like to sit down together and watch it and when it's put on for the youngers we have a hard time keeping the olders from watching it instead of doing their chores. lol And very often you will hear at least one person singing a song from the movie. One of our favorite songs espceally since we moved out to the county is "Spring, Spring, Spring".

Today was one of those days that reminds me of the song "Spring, Spring, Spring". It is 75-80 degrees with a nice breeze, sun is out, butterflies everywhere, bright green spring grass is starting to grow, and at six this morning I heard some baby birds crying for their food, not to mention all the baby goats that have been showing up around here lately.

These are the days that I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember, I would bring my books be they school or pleasure out side and spend hours outside. Once we moved out to the country and had our huge deck it was all the more enjoyable. It's days like today where I hardly--if at all use the dryer. I find any and all reasons to be outside. I love our summer days, (yes, humidty and heat, I do like them!) But, I would not complain if I had to live where it was like this all the time!

CALEB:
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.

BENJAMIN:
All the hen-folk are hatchin'
While their men-folk are scrathin'
To ensure the survival of each brand new arrival.
DORCAS:
Each nest is twitterin',
They're all baby-sitterin',
Spring, Spring, Spring.

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

LIZA:
Every field wears a bonnet
With some spring daisies on it,
Even birds of a feather show their clothes off together.
EPHRAIM:
Sun's gettin' shinery, to spotlight the finery,
LIZA:
Spring, Spring, Spring.

GIDEON:
From his eyrie, the eagle with his eagle eye
Gazes down across his eagle beak
And a'fixin' his lady with the legal eye
Screams "suppose we fix the date this week!"

CALEB & RUTH with DANIEL & MARTHA:
Yes, siree, spring disposes
That it's all one supposes
It's a real bed of roses
Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses.

All BROTHERS (except Ephraim) & All BRIDES:
Each day is Mother's Day
The next is some other's day
When all is King ....

EPHRAIM: (arrivin' at the rondevue area, and yellin'):
FRANK, DAN, BEN, CALEB, EVERYBODY
Milly's havin' her baby!

Squeals of excitement from the
other brothers and the brides
