It's here. It wasn't just the flock of robins on the hillside last week--there are bugs, and frogs, and salamanders, and green shoots everywhere. So enough navelgazing. Pictures to come.
When I lived in Ithaca, the arrival of spring was so startling -- same experience as you. One week it was grey, cloudy, misty, and raw. The next week, it would be slightly warmer, trees blooming, and the campus ablaze with color. Hail, Demeter!
C'set arrive ici! And better than any wine. I was in Exeter today and went for a run on the cross country trails. There's nothing like the fresh smell of the woods along the river. At home we have daffodils, scilla and crocus, but no hyacinths yet.
I used to live and work in Hollywood, until we bought the farm. Now I raise chickens, attempt to write and garden, and try to be a decent wife to the H, mother to the short people, and not go nuts in the process.
