April 6 Spring Green-up

I don't know if the pines have already put out fresh green growth or if they look greener because of recent washing by passing showers. But the contrast of their green against the bland landscape is striking. If you look closely, you'll notice the willows and dogwoods are turning to spring green and a light green haze of pussy willows crown the mounds of swamp shrubs.

March 14 Two more roses in winter

Ron appeared at my window yesterday with two roses in hand. Again the shop roses have produced welcome flowers. One window of his shop is filled with blooming geraniums. Another has drying corn, a jade plant and a cactus.

We're into daylight saving time. Another week and the calendar will tell us it's spring. I don't know anyone who isn't ready for it.
