One day of sunshine

Posted on | February 28, 2010 | Comments Off

I was doing some gardening this morning and walked around checking the fruit trees. The citrus are in their glory. The apricot trees were bare, and the fig had small leaf buds. I just returned from a neighbor’s home and the apricot trees have put out the tiniest leaves. One day of sunshine.

Spring is not here. Over the next five day forecast, three days of rain are included. But. Living things out of doors are quickening. Growing. Ready for the light and the warmth. Life.

I am enjoying getting things ready for Elaine — for her kitchen and ease of maintenance. It is a sweet time.

And now I’m off for a walk on the ridgeline.

Walk well. God is love.
