Events

These are some of the treasures I have found lately.

• May 2, 2008, Fragrance fills the air as all the flowers compete for the title of the most glorious. However none can compete with the vision of the Brothers or Index with fresh snow on it. The earth is robed in her finest for the season.
• April 18, 2008, The cherry blossoms are blowing in the wind and the petals rain down on the earth like a benediction. My favorite sight is delicate pink petals on a shiny black auto.
• March 21,2008, Now that spring has officially arrived, the weather has become warm and sunny. All the trees are blooming and the air is fragrant with the blossoms.
• March 5, 2008, Hoorah! I saw the first robin redbreast today. Sudden swathes of yellow appear like magic in the garden.
• February 22, 2008, spring has sprung. The catkins on the filbert are yellow with pollen and I saw/heard a bumblebee today.
• February 14, the crows are flying acrobatics in pairs. The chickadees and juncos also seem to be pairing up now.
• February 6, a flock of bushtits stormed through the contorted filbert today. How can such a tiny bird move so fast?
• On January 22, the full moon hung like a silver penny above my neighbor's house to the west while the skies in the east turned crimson. The glory of it was almost too much to bear.
• On January 15,the crows stalked a squirrel as he dug up some of his caches. Suddenly they swooped down on him and he leapt away with a tulip bulb grasped firmly in his mouth.
• On January 7, carrying a brilliant emerald at his throat, a humming bird tried to visit the scarlet flowers in the kitchen window boxes. Ooops, there was glass in the way.
• On January 2, the rising sun has painted streaks of yellow-green across a lawn with such intensity that the grass looks unreal where the sun strikes it.
