If you look you can still find a patch of snow here and there.
Blue sky, clear and sunny. Pleasantly above freezing. Not warm, exactly,... but after 130 days of a lot of COLD, it feels good in the warm sun. Damp in low-lying areas. Flooding near rivers and streams. Very much snow melt in very few days.... Thoughts turn to warmer day ahead. Pleasant springs of memories past.... A song of Springtime... and love.... an ode to Spring.... .... ... .. .
sweet memories from early childhood visiting Uncle Carl and Aunt Eleanor in their warm living room The Tortoise and The Hare book with a record... turn the page when the funny car horn honks "aaooga" on the way home from Rose Street, lying on the backseat looking up as the street lights rush past.... on Mannheim.... by the airport.... asleep before we make the seven mile trip home..... like children often do......
It was many years ago. In my childhood. One of those lazy days, sunny, some clouds drifting .... On my father's property, at the greenhouse.... a few will understand where. With my older niece... Bonnie... She leads, as we lay down on the ground, heads close together, we gaze skyward. Bonnie points out a cloud,... asks me if it looks like Snoopy... yes! I see that! We continue to look at clouds and guess at what they look like. It is warm in the sun. I feel loved. .... ... .. . Thank you, Bonnie Sue, for your kindness.
clear and sunny.
Very much snow melt in
