In The Weeds. . .

I think we are all excited about the arrival of Spring Michael Jacobs to the point we want to sing and rhyme. 😊

BTW we did have jelly beans in the house and I managed to avoid eating any HOWEVER I had enough malted-milk ball eggs that I need to walk them off all week now.

Hmm, now I am wondering how many jelly beans you had over the weekend, haha.  I can't even remember the last time that I had a jelly bean, although I see some sitting in my candy jar, haha.

No jelly beans or other Easter treats at our home to tempt us this weekend (or for that matter for the last month).  Trying to drop some weight that has crept up (and up and up) over the years.  It's working, but the temptation to have a cookie is still strong :)

Michael, I bought no Easter candy, so no tempting, but I do enjoy a good jelly bean.   Haven't had any for years though.   Great post to sum up Easter!

I was once a great advocate of good for thought but have found with the years that the soil to grow these thoughts seems to have lost a lot of its productiveness.

Good Monday morning, Michael.

Keep planting those seeds and watch your imagination grow.

Have an outstanding week.

I love reading your posts while exercising my brain!   So what is your favorite jelly bean flavor?  Starburst jelly beans are irresistible, especially the pale green ones- sour apple!

Thanks for sharing your creative musings, Michael Jacobs! Your unique take on idioms and personal reflections makes for a delightful read. I love how you weave together food for thought and gardening—it's a great reminder to let our ideas flourish, even if they sometimes feel a bit weedy!

Hi Michael- I hope you had a good weekend. But, did you have to begin your Monday ponderings with food??? I managed to control myself until last night before eatingone Peanut M&M. I'm not a huge jelly bean eater. However I had more than enough sweets to make me regret my lack of control yesterday. 

Jelly Beans.....wow I haven't thought about those little guys in years Michael.  I'm not much into sweets so there wasn't any candy of Easter treats in our house.  But oh my, dinner was fabulous......grilled prime fillets.  Way better than chocolate don't you think!

Hello Michael and love your pondering and sharing with us here in the Rain.  I did have a rabbit yesterday for Easter.

Hello Michael,

The epic battle between our thirst for knowledge and jellybeans is a clash for the ages! Resisting sugary temptations is like doing yoga on a trampoline—noble but probably futile. Perhaps the jellybeans’ “personal yardage thinning” is their way of aiding your fitness goals.

A mix of pondering life’s mysteries and sweet treats may be the secret to staying fabulously human!

Michael Jacobs - your blog post and comments this season are a sweet treat! Also, I appreciate your vivid imagination! Your writing skills invited me up a delightful and colorful garden path. And as my mind wonders, I have been inspired to try to paint that last photo you shared. Since my attention to details in drawings or attempting to paint are childish and pale in comparison to the Master of Art I think I could accomplish something like that on canvas. 

One of these days, I'm going to nip it the bud and paint something that is fun without difficulty and if I succeed, I'll let you know! And of course, I'll have you to thank!

Hi Michael Jacobs I did great last week avoiding the Jelly Beans and Easter candies.  I am trying to make up for it this week however!!

Hi Michael, It sounds like those colored jelly beans are going to lose their vibrant but artificial coloring soon. I hope you approve of the replacement.

Really cute images! I've never been much of a jelly bean fan. I wouldn't turn them down if offered though. LOL

Michael:

Any peeps at your house for Easter (the Easter treats, not people)? We were good - no Easter goodies at all, but then the grandkids weren't around, sadly. Hope it was a nice holiday weekend!

Speaking of jellybeans, yesterday the title company had a little jar and I  sure was temped. Yes, I decided to take two yellow ones.

Michael Jacobs  The rabbit hole I do not see you falling down it. Alice perhaps but not You Michael not even to eat some jellie beans 

As a young mother, I had to purchase the holiday candy items JUST before the actual occasion.  I was a sucker for, and still am, malted milk balls or my fav, Milk Duds.
