Finally!
Happy Day! Yahoooo!
I have been trying to post some photos the past few days and IT HASN'T BEEN WORKING!!! A little test for the patience...
We went wildflower viewing the other night. I had fun taking photos and I wanted to share them. But before I bring out the garden au naturel photos, I will share a little prelude. An hors d'oeuvre for the eye. Main course will begin in a day or two, if the blogger gods deem it to be so.
On the way to the open space, we had to visit the Goose family (now that the Owl family has vacated their premises and I'm feeling all empty-nested and such).
And this! My magnifique columbine. Either I'm having a brain fart (which happens much too often) or else this guy invited himself into my whiskey barrel/planter, because I don't remember putting him there. But he's a beaut and he's welcome to stay. I can't quit smiling every time I look at him.

This was a 21st century family - a community family with four adults and five kidlets. The more parents, the more eyes to watch youngsters to keep them safe from carnivores and cars.
And this! My magnifique columbine.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. - Rachel Carlson

A Song
While soaking in hot water
pondering the meaning of life
and not coming up with many good answers,
suddenly, through closed doors and hallways
from out in the kitchen
I hear Bob Dylan singing,
channeled through MrCarolForPeace.
Life suddenly got lighter.
Then I remembered the Chinese proverb:
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song."
What is my song today?
What is YOURS?

First Buds
I found this in my backyard today.
There's something awe-inspiring about spring buds and young green shoots breaking through the ground...
In spite of all the harm that is being done to this earth, life is still very persistent about wanting to show up. I hope that we can soon learn to live in harmony with this earth from which we came.
Before it's too late.

...To be so present, so hotly, divinely connected to the moment you are in that time loses all relevance and age means nothing and opportunity shows up exactly as it should, and the real accomplishment, the real sense of achievement comes from celebrating each and every breath like it was a shot glass of molten meaning...

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
