Friday Flash 55....;.



"Month's without sunshine, and sliding and slippin.
Cases of empties from booze you've been sippin.
Winters still clinging by barely a string.
Please go away we are missing the Spring!

...Slushy freezing, coughing sneezing.
Gray is depressingly sad.
That soon will be over,
we'll be rolling in clover,
And then we won't feeeeeel so bad!!!"


The Hills are alive Baby... Bring It ON!!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55...
Please come tell The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most Vernal host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!

  8. Spring will be here before you know it, Vernal Man. All the signs are there. There will be green stuff shooting up in the snowy, slushy hills and we'll all be able to breathe again.:)

  10. So descriptive, although it is 'summer' down here, suddenly I'm knee deep in slushy snow beneath dreary gray skies.

  11. How do you solve a problem like G-Man? Been a cold one even down here G. But I kinda like it.

    Sandy's back with more of her usual excellence, and (surprise!) I even have one of my own this week.

  14. Our winter here in Florida is nothing like you describe, but having said that, we have had an unusually cold one this year. I can't remember the cold sticking around this long in the 35 years I've been here.

    I love spring.

  16. Kick ass, G-man!!! That last line really does it.

    I finished my little lover's lane thing - which got picked up by seedpod publishing, BTW. I promise, this is the end of it. Totally.

    Mine is here.

  17. I know I'm officially old now because I've joined "those" people who complain about the cold weather. :)
    I used to love it when I was a kid.
    Now I just want to avoid freezing to death and slipping on ice and breaking every bone in my body.
    Yay for spring. :)

    Thanks for another Friday 55. :)
    My own is posted right here.

  23. Gaaahhh! You're right, I did make a mistake and did 56 instead of 55. It's ok, I just went back and fixed it. It's 55 now! Really! I promise!

  52. Spring has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. We are loving our Crocuses and Daffodils. The cherry and almond trees are already blasting.

  62. Aw, that put a smile on my face - yeah, c'mon spring, your appearance is well over-due!

    Love the bike! Every year I have the same bunch of hairy bikers come stay with us for the anual TT Isle of Man on-road races - we live slap bang on the course and find ourselves sealed in for the event - not that it matters, the top of our drive is the best viewing place on the island. (But the carnage is regretable, one rider met his end on our gatepost).

  63. Ahhhhh, so YOU're that Mr Knowitall 55 G-Man :)

  65. Excellent blog, excellent concept. I keep meaning to submit a Friday Flash 55, but I've been a bit distracted recently. Watch out for me next week.

    What does it take to get on your "places I haunt" list?

    I've added "Mr. Knowitall" to the Cosmic Rapture blogroll, left had column, under the heading of "other domains".

    Cheers

  66. Hello Galen, I've noticed several people have been trying to figure out how to create a link in the comment box. I thought I'd try and help them to figure it out by creating a tutorial for them. Here is the address to the tutorial and maybe if someone is trying to figure this out they can get some help from my tutorial and maybe you can direct them to my blog for the address. Just check out the link provided below for the tutorial.


    Creating A Link


    I hope this helps those who would like to learn how to create a link.
