it feels like spring today.
the promise kept.
two good trees
spruce and butternut
this went down in april
remains of the milkhouse
mosquito nesting ground
photographer's sarcophagus
no insect activity
yet
but a woman with
green striped socks
waits
she matches these
fiddleheads
protected by down
deliberate?
oh, no
my
reward for this
winter of hard times
the fiber of winter
disappearing
under the green frayed cloth
of may
it's mayday
today i put out
hummingbird feeders
a huge commitment
as far as i can tell
finished the pure hosta
added a little abaca
ready for milkweed pulp
tiny sheets
a tiny home
and blackflies are swarming
not biting much
yet.
spring! and promises of new things. a better finger, green growth,flowers,hummingbirds and even mosquitoes. life renewed.
ReplyDeleteLove the unfurling ferns... such wonderful fuzziness. And what a glorious May Day! I went to a nearby pagan community land for a Maypole. I conveniently forget about the black flies every year... but then they come! Here, too, not biting yet, just starting to swarm around. Happy May!
ReplyDeleteyay, PAPER!!
ReplyDeletej & v, today it really, really seems like spring! no maypole for me, though i think a friend was celebrating. i'm too busy springing. (NOT like a heifer, however)
ReplyDeleteYAY, aimee!!!
ReplyDeleteoh sad tree
ReplyDeleteoh happy fern
and paper (mmmmmmmmm)

V- so many different aspects of Spring - the bounty - growth but also the insects. Loved the photos of your reflection in the trough - almost looks liked a reflected bronze. B
ReplyDeleteA deserved reward for that long hard winter Velma - such joy in renewal!
