the tulips don’t last
long enough to cherish them
but in memory

Photos and/or descriptions of what I see through my windows.
After the snow and rain and flooded fields
the sunlight returned . . .
and the winds

snow flurries
no longer melting as snowflakes
cover the ground
When is it too cold to snow? It’s too cold for taking photographs outside without swapping out my moccasins for snow boots.
new leaves and withered
waterdrops and morning dew
sunlight and stillness
quiet whirr of tiny wings
birds stirring in the branches

The chives garden in the back yard, as well as the wildflowers along the south side of the house, have been getting the dregs from the dogs’ water bowl and other water that would in other times have gone down the drain. The shaded areas are doing much better than those getting full sun for longer periods. Other spots have not been looking quite so bad.
After all this “hot, dry” weather the predicted low temperature for the night is 56°F / 13°C. Cool breeze, but still no rain.
