“Spring” is here in The Lung. Mud Season. BUT we still have an entire month of wind and possible snow storms to come. And I LOVE it! Here are some other things I love…
I love seeing birds flying and carrying things in their beaks, especially when I can’t tell what it is! Is that a banana peel or a snake? Hmmm…
I love seeing the “beginning of winter” detritus suspended in thawing pools of water. I like to pretend the bits will become evil monsters when they emerge. Forming a cloud of spores and then a bulky shadow menace who sidles through the trees! I know…
I love that the cats start pooping outside again!
I love the first mild sunburn on my face.
I love burning the old blown-down sticks and branches in the garden fire pit and having a cup of tea. (It’s even better when a neighbor stops by)
I love chitting my potatoes.
I love the sound of the porch chimes being played like a berserk Greig by the wind storms.
I love the bones on the ground from the winter suppers had by many, many creatures. Or some just being frozen in place as though we were at Herculaneum. XO
Had to google chitting , isn't that great that folks use words that are not known as well . It is Autumn in Adelaide as we are having a typical warm mild April still t shirt weather and thinking of my winter veggies and sad my basil will start to fall off.
