THINK GREEN THURSDAY

THE GREEN GLOVES
They pass so quickly, these lovely days
Between babyhood and childhood.
When communication consists of
A smile,
A roguish look,
A laugh,
A cuddle.
When a mower is a 'mowoh'
And a whipper-snipper
Is a circular motion of the hands!
When triumph is expressed by raising
The Green Gloves.
And a comical thumbs-up!
And a comical thumbs-up!
The obsession with garden-tools will pass.
But, with it, will pass
Those lovely days.

Hi blog hopping from Watery Wednesday. I guess it's my first time to be here. By the way, my WW entry is up as well. Hope to see you there :)
Cheers,

Ahhh, those little quirks! The childhood eludes us quickly...Nicely remembered...
Hi Brenda
I remember my kids having a thing about gardening gloves...
I have no grandchildren yet. I am still getting over motherhood!
But it is going to be a joy.
Happy Days
Precious! One buys the most expensive toys, when the child is satisfied with much more simple things ....
Brenda, that's very cute! Michele of Rambling Woods is the host of this meme. Thanks for the shout out at your post. :)
