And all of a sudden, its Spring

[trystinn]

I've been watching the Earth awaken this last week with amazement and awe. Crocus and Daffie shoots are pushing up, tender little leaf buds are working their way out of branches, and the winter nip in the air is gone even though its still in the forties. Formerly dry and denuded branches are covered in that lightest of new green leaves, that special green tone that one never mistakes for anything other than spring growth.

All these little signs building together to form a new Earth. I'm afraid to blink.

And then it hails. And all bets are off. What a ride!

I should be sleeping, but instead, I'm eating grits.

The ones that were up before the snow fell are looking kind of tired, but there are other things popping now. Can't believe I haven't seen a single crocus yet! Unless my eyes deceive me, however, there will be dozens of them next to Jay's side door.

I guess some of the trees are starting to bud as well as I've seen squirrels nibbling on the ends of branches.

Hope the weather clears in time for your Highway to Hell tour. :)

I was pretty amazed to see crocus, myself. Or at least, what I recall is a bed of crocus - this winter feels longer than any I can recall since moving here.

I'm going to attempt to figure out the voice post option on LJ over the next few days, as I'm not sure I want to be carting around a laptop!

oh, sorry, got distracted.

Crocuses. Yes. Our *were* coming up, I don't know if they've survived the foot of snow that fell here yet. gotta love the Cailleach's featherbed shaking!

Does this mean we might not see you Saturday? :(

While the roads will likely be all nice and clear of snow by Saturday, I'm supposed to be helping with seaf setup sometime soon, and I don't know when that is. Where are folk going to get together, and maybe I do at least do a drive-by???

Yay! Voice posts!

Fair warning: I'm told I have "porn voice", which is why I've been in charge of every outgoing voicemail message at offices!

I'll do some testing to see how well the accent does!
