There were small tufts of white poplar seeds float through the air in the evening, and tonight about 7 pm the wind picked up.
It could have been snowing as that downward wind picked up the small white seeds.
I could see them floating downward from the top of the road where the poplar tree is, to the bottom of the valley.
Floating as the snow does in big tufts in the winter.
Both Glen and David Pilling say to me, "If you miss Spring here, you miss the best part of the year".
Now I get why they say this.
Wild flowers make meadows where the grass is not mowed.
Today I could see that one of my peony bushes is beginning to fade.
Fifteen unpicked blossoms.
I ran out of vases before I ran out of flowers to put in them.
And then as a rounded the corner tonight I came face to face with another peony bush in full blossom.
One blossom would more than fill the palm of my hand – maybe 2 hands.
Small red roses are blooming at the corner of my porch and the rose bush that we call LaRue had two white buds ready to bloom.
Yes, to miss Spring here is to miss one of nature's miracles.
