Anticipation of the Senses

The feel of cool & crisp air in the morning.
The taste of corn dogs, funnel cakes & cotton candy.
The sound of stepping on crunchy leaves that lay themselves gently across the Earth.

The sight of purple & gold literally flowing itself out of the stadium.

The smell of a bonfire blazing in the twilight of late evening.

I love fall. I can’t hardly wait.

Who is Poppyseed?

I was so anxious.

I could not sleep!

I tossed & turned & tossed again.

I finally got out of bed & reached for the phone to dial a number I so frequently use.

Since the day my sister discovered she was going to be blessed with a baby, my family has pondered who was going to be joining our lives. The answer was finally coming our way.

A voice I could pick out of thousands answered the phone & said "we are on our way."

A eternity seemed to ease on by as I waited for the call.

A ring of the phone finally pierced the room.

A press of the button was all that stood between me & the answer.

A giddy laugh was coming through the line.

"What is it!? What is it!?"

"What do you think it is?" muffled through laughter

"Just tell me!"

"A girl....A girl....It's a girl! "

* Disclaimer: Girl or Boy.... It really didn't matter. I'm so blessed to have this little one coming into my life. I couldn't be more honored to her aunt. Let the shopping commence!
