SPRING

There are frost warnings for tonight in my area. The last vestiges of winter remain.

The seeds I wanted to start early indoors – were started terribly late this year once again, but everything was just fine last year, even starting late. Listen to advice, but also learn from your own experience.

Spring flowers and flowering trees push forth, they show off. For who or what specifically, I don’t always know, but human beings enjoy the show. The jonquils are already finished mostly in my neighborhood. It is interesting that some spring flowers disappear completely, foliage and all even before summer is in its full buzzing humidity, when other plants come into fruition.

Now we have delicate flowers, blue skies and singing birds.

The days are getting shorter in Australia and New Zealand. When one lives near the equator it is virtually impossible to perceive changes in the seasons by sunlight, rather it is perceived by changes in wind and precipitation.

Six months from now the Halloween decorations will be up and we will be pulling out the soup recipes and sweaters.

Nothing happens forever, but sometimes for a season

SOLI DEO GLORIA
