Denny comes home tonight

Filed under: — Aprille @ 1:54 pm

Hooray!  I am very excited about that fact.  The plants are too, I’m sure.

The weekend wasn’t very interesting, but the weather was beautiful, so I spent a fair amount of time actually outside or else on the (screened-in) porch.  Denny always calls it the screened-in porch, as if we have another porch.  We only have one porch.  I tease him about this.

It’s fair because he teases me for saying eastern goldfinch instead of just goldfinch.  I can’t help it.  It’s our state bird, and that’s how it was drilled into my head in elementary school.  Also, our state flower is the wild rose, not just the rose.

I don’t remember what our state song is, but you can bet it’s got an adjective in the title.  It’s probably something like “Rad Iowa” instead of just “Iowa.”

    Well I had to go look it up, naturally. It’s “Song of Iowa”. No adjectives!

    It’s a peach, too: http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/song/ia_song_of_iowa.htm

    Read that and tell me you didn’t get the urge to just jump up and belt it out at full volume, I dare ya.

    Oh my lord, we don’t even have a state song with an original melody? Hell, I bet even Nebraska has that.
