Just in time for Easter. The lilacs are in full bloom, the Chinese Wisteria has dropped her lavender buds and roses are promising a dramatic show. My lettuce is already up, the radishes in the ground will take thirty days and spring onions grow whether you want them to or not. Two grape vines in the back have been pruned and in'sha'allah, the wind will leave them alone. I have one apple. One little apple. Bees all over the yard in the rosemary and Chinese Elm. Tomorrow the dog gets his rabies shot because there is a horrendous outbreak on the Pinal/Pima/Cochise county borders. Our first grandchild is due in early June and these are the months of waiting for the beginning of things I can hardly imagine. Life keeps going on and the wars begin to look the same. Is this all there is?
Of course not. But its a great way to spend some time.
From Dick Bakken's The Bridge:
"The train
thundered over
him until there was
nothing."
Just right.
