Windy Spring

It's so windy this glorious Spring! Windy days are not my favorite thing, but the wind creates waves of grass in the fields that are mesmerizing - transporting - might be somewhere else...

This year it seems like the Wisteria is the most heavily laden with flowers and scent that its ever been! In any case its scent is everywhere, at least where the wild wind blows it.

And the spring wildflowers are mainly looking very good, bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, etc.

One of my favorite small flowers are bluets. For some reason they didn't do so well this year, showing up but sparsely.

Saint Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Recall the childhood mystery - who in the classroom sent the card and the little candy heart that said "Be Mine"? Well anyway, that was just the beginning of all the beauty and weirdness of "love". So now, considerably later, a bite of really good chocolate and a sip of vino will do. Ha Ha so funny and a bit painful looking back - nowadays simple and easy would be the thing. Not too late is it?
