Calling It
Posted in Other, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2023, home, yay on April 19, 2023| Leave a Comment »
There is still a patch of snow approximately two inches by three inches in the front yard, but it’s melting so fast that I feel comfortable calling it.
It’s our last day with snow, hooray!

Gave the cat some chicken bits this morning and he is now certifiably insane.
Calm your crazy, kitty!

The Light of Longer Days

We have our first flowers in the backyard. Violets, small and brightly colored, peeking up through the felled branches and unkillable Creeping Charlie and pine litter.
I know that many of you have had green grass and flowers for weeks now, but not so in my neighborhood.
Here, I wait. And watch. And finally, the light of longer days helps the first amethyst petals brave an unpredictable spring.
Welcome, little ones.

She turned to the sunlight
― A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”

My day so far:
The good news is that it’s Friday and things are looking up!

More Snow

Another storm is headed our way, complete with non-negligible amounts of snow. I like winter but the thought of going for a walk without a big coat and opening a window to the scent of flowers is… nice.
Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.

A Blooming Good Time

The weather is cold here, there’s still snow everywhere, and I’ve developed a weird eye twitch from all the computing. Time to head over to D.C. and see the cherry blossoms, I think. Feel free to join me!
