Spring, and a meme

[primsong]

Spent the day planting and dreaming of the future colors, lifting fluffs of chickweed, crumbling the brittle oak leaves that yet linger under the rosemary and among the strawberries. Pounding crumbly pink fertilizer spikes in around the fruit-trees while squinting up to find that mysterious place, the "drip line."

The cherry and plum are just beginning to bloom white and pink. The young roses lift up from the sea of waving daffodils and narcissus, unaware of the hollyhock seeds I have set nearby, summer playmates for their breezes and blooms. The old sleepy lilac seems barely aware of them, little whippersnappers, vibrant children around his feet. Oregon Grape lifts its head, embraces the firs, shadows the hyacinth and newly greening lilies. My cat scrubs herself on the rough stems of last year's peppermint, stalks the weeds I toss, runs straight up the apple tree in pursuit of an elusive squirrel. All the scents are heavenly, the ground is soft. It is spring.
