baby leaves and blossoms

I was driving around town earlier today and realized that spring really, really is here.  Everywhere I drove I saw trees in bloom and others showing those lovely first tiny leaves. So nice. Then, as I typed the title of this blog I realized it could have two meanings depending on punctuation. Baby leaves and blossoms can refer to just what I saw today or, with a little punctuation could imply that baby has left home and is blossoming in a new home or career.  Baby leaves, and blossoms.  It reminds me of the title of a book on punctuation that was popular a few years ago, "Eats Shoots and Leaves".  It was meant to explain what pandas eat - shoots and leaves.  However, with punctuation it can imply that that pesky panda ate a meal, shot something and then left.  Eats, shoots, and leaves. Enjoy your spring and the quirks of our language.
