Spring teaser

March 30, 2006

It’s getting along toward time to forego the boring treadmill for outdoor walks again. Maybe past time. Yesterday morning it didn’t feel much like spring; the sunshine was still a weak wash, and the landscape was still near-monochromatic, but my eye caught a few hints of color here and there. The forsythia started adding flecks of yellow bloom a week or so ago, until it was momentarily arrested by snow and cold, the daffodils and narcissus that have been poking up are now showing a few tentative blooms, a few star magnnolia have whitening buds, and some maples adding a little red to the scene. Life is being renewed once again, always a welcome process after the indignities of winter.

Dave, feeling spring fever coming on.
