pan

wild cherry

Wild cherry trees in bloom. The blossoms look like bottle brushes. Smell of starter fluid for barbecues wafting through Rutland. Three manure spreaders on Rte. 7. Sound of a veery on the morning walk. Like the old woodchuck says, it's hard to believe that one bird is making that sound. It's more like Pan playing heartily on his pipes from somewhere deep in the woods.
