there was fog.
only a little fog
but a warmness playing with the cool
of the warm days this spring.
and it rolled in for a morning
and then vanished
as the earth sucked the heat out of the generous clouds.
this winter is now spring,
and it looks like it's going to last.
for a few days, anyway
and i have started tidying up for it
and wonder what the hell
is going on
what's going on?
in the heat of today
afternoon in the 70's
a crocus rose, blossomed and almost gave up.
one day.
me, i'm trying to hold on
to remember that change is inevitable
even good
and not to wonder about the
great melting
up north.
may there be ice.
may there be health.
there are changes on earth
at home.

what in the world is that dried looking plant form? - its eerie and strange and mesmerising...
ReplyDeleteahh, ronnie, that's milkweed, well retted, with the unblown seed cluster wet and felling out.
ReplyDeleteBeatufiul, mistiness.
ReplyDeleteI was out cleaning up today, too. Mostly the mounds of dirt and gravel the plow guy dug up and put RIGHT on my garden in that October storm. Nothing was frozen, so it all went on my garden. I was raking up the gravel around the tulips coming up and swatting MOSQUITOS in March.
Yup, may there be health and balance and if not, may we embrace the change and may it propel us to deep caring for each other and the earth.
Just look at that milkweed seed that's clung there all winter long!
ReplyDeleteHoping that warmth is coming our way.
valerie, you said it so well, i admit, i'm a bit spooked
ReplyDeletepenny, it may take a while to meander east and north!
it has spread east...so I hear from home. TOO early!
ReplyDeletehey nancy, are your toes still cold?
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pics. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteIt is early Autumn here - the leaves are beginning to change and the mornings are a little colder.
Autumn is such a gentle season here.
why are changes so difficult to accept? this year seems like one of changes for me.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the crocus is magnificent, it looks like a pianting.
ReplyDeleteAh, changes! I agree: so difficult to accept, even if we long for them.
hi dian, it's early early spring, so much so that it's weird. a gift, though
ReplyDeleteneki, yes! exactly!
blandina, thank you, the color was solace to me.
The fog reflects the fog we have lived with these past few days - so much rain around and the mountain is shrouded in mist. I love the crocus - that colour!!! Maybe just a year-change thing not a long-term change. We hope.
ReplyDeleteV-such change - the uncontrolled beauty of the seasons - beautiful images - love the fog and the contrasting colours of the barn. Go well. B
ReplyDeletefiona and barry, the early morning fog is such a treat, these HOT days are odd. you should hear my unresilient students complain about the heat!
ReplyDeletestrangeness indeed...
ReplyDeletelove the mikweed images ... and the sense we get of going walking with you!
sophie, come on over for a walk!
ReplyDeletemilkweed, i love it.
