Visible signs that spring
is arriving in the frozen tundra
have been appearing . . .
The obvious robin…
that may or may not
have been around all winter . . .
Parkas are shed for sweatshirts …
(Nate in his creepy front zip-to-the-tip hoodie)
and indoor activity
is abandoned for
more testosterone
raving fun
I just want to say,
there was one patch of snow
there was one patch of snow
on all our 2.5 acres and
the guys headed straight for it
the guys headed straight for it
Nate was doing the “360s” while
DIY Guy was painting
his garage
however, once his paint brushes
were clean, DIY guy had
to burn off some
testosterone of his own
and as he mounted the 4-wheeler,
I asked if he was going
to try some “360s”…
to which he replied . . .
Yeah, but mine will be better than Nate’s
” . . . because I know
to turn off the 4-wheel drive”
Later, as DIY Guy put
the Polaris in the stall,
I asked if he was going to tell his son
the secret to good “4-wheel 360s”.
He said “no”… then “maybe”…
and closed the garage door saying,
“you’ll probably tell him before I do”.
It’s an entirely different world when
the boys are together,
than when us girls are.
