Ripening Springtime

The sweetness of the wild rose...



The quiet of an early morning stroll on the Rail Trail listening to birdsong…

 The  shimmer of little goslings preening in mellow evening sunshine…

These are the tokens of ripening springtime.

How sweet it is.

“…and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.  It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.” Is.35:1-2

Little bear antics

It was a quiet early evening.  We’d had some chips and salsa for supper on the balcony just off the kitchen… Now the dishes were tucked away and  I stepped back out on the balcony to listen to the birds and crickets and enjoy the quiet of the day…

What is that!  A shaggy black coat stood by the tree just down the slope out back.  And it wasn’t Jim! 

I ran to find him and his dad and we stood on the balcony watching our very own ‘Minute-Circus’ act.

This little bear was intent on getting at some old cans hanging there for target practice…What a clever acrobat he turned out to be!

If at first you don’t succeed, try again another way!
