buzzing

Round Leaf Yellow Violet

 Sunny days, starting to feel like spring. Bumblebees and honeybees buzzing around. Tractor spreading manure in a field in Pittsford. Green up Day, and Tinmouth plant sale on Saturday. Air conditioner on at work. Putting the ice scraper back in the trunk of the car.

fiddleheads

Allyn celebrated Mother's Day yesterday with breakfast in bed & mediterranean pasta, all from yours truly. Lawn maintenance crews starting up for the year. I mowed our lawn for the first time yesterday. Fiddleheads, bluets, and false hellebore emerging.

happy birthday!

Maple trees starting to green up. Plants on sale at Wood's Market in Brandon. Road crews at work on Rte 7. Wild leeks appearing.

Happy 80th birthday to Willie Mays, the greatest baseball player who ever lived.

They pitch it, I hit it. They hit it, I catch it.

This kind of detail is possible in the realm of nature because the painter/creator is inside the art.

accelerando

bloodroot

Homeowner mowing lawn in West Rutland. Sightings & sounds of wood peckers. Dandelions, bloodroot & spring beauty appearing. Call of the ruffed grouse in Shelburne. Sounds like an accelerando on the mokugyo.

Forsythia in bloom. Tufted titmouse building its nest in the usual spot above my office at work. Young woman pulling two boys in a wagon in Wallingford. Two girls playing catch with a frisbee in their front yard in Tinmouth. Cows grazing in Salisbury.

magnolias

John Scott Kahle

Temps in the 70's over the weekend. Bicyclists along the road in West Rutland. Fishermen in the Ira brook. Kayaks on display out front of Dick's Sporting Goods. Otter Creek overflowing its banks. The two magnolias planted in memory of my mother and brother are in bloom at the Vermont Zen Center.
