Casa Boho Café

Spring  shows its face.

He is outside on the Case Boho patio with a drip coffee two cream no sugar.

There are soft white  Snowfall Hydrangias only starting to bloom.

The pretty girls are out with their golden skin and eyelashes and secrets.

Handsome, steely eyed young men with smooth brown muscles

and curly black hair accompany them.

The wound of winter has been peeled away and the tulips yawn

With the full knowledge that their moment of beauty is brief.

Roots grumble while buried in black earth . They know there is a party upstairs.

They are never invited . Morning dew, soft breeze, and shots of sunlight are on tap.

The sky brags with its expansive blue and tender eyes.

A sparrow lands on the edge of a dogs water dish.

A cocker spaniel arrives at his morning pit stop.

He notices today he has company. He is delighted

The sparrrow does not flee only looks at him

Perhaps thinking what a wonderful new friend.

Everything comes to life on the patio outside Casa Boho.

We needed spring this year, more than ever.
