It’s
Spring!
The crocuses are in my backyard are fully a-bloom, little patches of calico purple and blue and gold, the early daffodils tucked up against the other side of the house are shining their cheery little yellow lights, the lone pussywillow by the driveway is wearing thousands of tiny fuzzy mittens, and fat rosy buds are swelling on the naked crabapple trees…
“Our” Mallard Ducks have come to rest in the creek out front, where they stop each year on their migratory journey to parts somewhere north.
And I have been eagerly studying my garden catalogs and haunting the lawn and garden displays in the local stores! Home Depot and Lowes have fruit trees already, so my first project this year will be to plant that row of apple trees along the driveway I have had planned for several years. I have been doing a lot of Spring Cleaning indoors as well.
We sold our trailer down in the pines (on eBay!), and last weekend the new owners towed it away, closing another chapter in our lives for now. I will kind of miss it, but on the other hand, I look forward to being home on weekends to enjoy the house and yard with Bernie (and maybe even have some friends over for barbecues this year!)
Brightest Blessings to all of you
as the Wheel of the Year turns once again!

Congrats on getting the trailer sold and happy spring!
you paint such a beautiful picture with your words! Wow! I’ll bet your yard looks great!
Wow, spring is much farther along there. No sign of flowers or buds on trees, though I have seen a lot of Canada Geese flying overhead. They go in different directions, so I’m not sure if they are migrators or residents.
I love pussy willows! And apple trees lining the driveway sounds lovely. When I was a teenager, we had an old apple tree in the backyard & it attracted so many birds.
