From road trips to Port Dover, to bike rides to the beach.
Under every leaf we rake up is a surprise of things growing - even a frog, or toad, speckled brown, snuggled next to our green rain barrel.We missed spring in St. T last year, amidst the worry of buying, selling, packing and moving and this year we're going to take a breath and watch nature unfold. Under every leaf we rake there's something forcing up through the soil, busting out to feel the sun, just as we are.
Tulips
Forsythia
Crocus
Violets
Daffodils, in bright yellow and amber-white
Putting away the bird feeders and finding the chairs for the deck.
Clothes hung on the laundry line, trying not to scare the dovers nesting in the eave, and Frankie smelling the worms.
Now, we're almost ready to rake again and I can still feel the summer sun's warmth, briefly.
Ah ... seasons
