spring giddiness
I don’t like to give seasons so much credit for how I feel. But, after the rugged ending to this past winter, I’m just giddy in the sunshine and warmth now. And I’m not alone. Everyone I meet is acting…
feelin’ good
“How ARE you (ye-oo)?” “I’m goo-ud.” You say that and just by saying it, just by answering that question asked with such warmth, you actually do feel “real good”. I love the South for that. The willingness to admit unapologetically,…

This is how the day started yesterday. Not too promising. And then it progressed: Further: This juxtaposition of the fading winter and oncoming spring reminded me of how tides work: we all know they are controlled by the moon. The…
surface / more than surface
This is the ice situation. Still there – a solid surface. And if you were to be here in person, it would not look a whole lot different. It’s grayer than a few days ago – wetter from the warm…
“snow” peas
April 10: peas in the ground. And, because the outdoor faucet is not turned on, I added on top this snow (blessed snow) to moisten them! Now, will they be up, blooming and producing peas by the time Hunter and…
