Thank Goodness March is gone; March is ... well... umm... ugly. On the other hand April is ...ummm ...well ugly as well. Yuggy by many standards.
The woods are brown...and naked. One can see every piece of broken, snapped, rotten, decaying bit of trees and plant life that won't ever green up again.
The piles of snow are sprinkled with dirt and bits of gravel from the driveway and ..brown
The ground is still somewhat frozen and there are puddles everywhere which of course the water in them is brown.
The ground IS thawing, however; where there is dirt, there is mud...brown.
Knoel's extra big feet make extra big cat prints, on the car, on the floor, on my desk; if there was one paper on a messy desk that wouldn't be improved by cat prints, which one would he be sure to hit first?
Good-bye March, Hello April!
April is usually helped by warmer temperatures and sunshine and some greening up around the fringes of dirty piles of snow. So far not so much. Yesterday there was a mixture of rain/freezing rain/snow.
There have been a few glimmers of April's hope springing eternal...
I've seen plenty of robins bobbin' along.
The moss in my yard is beginning to green up.
I did not feel the need to don hat, winter coat and boots to make the trek out to the mailbox.
I heard geese honking this morning - presumably on their way north.
Liz has some yellow crocus in her garden.
My woodchuck is back......we saw her scampering from the neighbor's yard to ours and yes she went right under our porch. I think I will name her Geraldine.
I saw a pileated woodpecker this morning....and thank heavens for the naked woods so I could have an unobstructed view of him.
Coffee of the day: Kenya AA
Book reading: A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffery Archer
Have a fine day all.........
