I heard birds out there singing the other day!! (The birds know.) Soon the geese will start coming back. According to the locals at the reserve who track these things, it will be from the 1st of April to the 8th of May this year. Last year I believe it was later in April and over 200,000 of them came, all at once. I still run outside as soon as I hear them, to watch them fly by. It never gets old.

Meanwhile,
Neighbor, clearing what was once the sidewalk
Road needs plowed -- again
Well-used path to shed
Running out of places to dump it.
(I want to capture, and someday paint, that sky's mezmerizing blueness!)

In front of the Cultural Center
At every house, a dug-out path
Father and son, out for a walk
At door of the pharmacy
Outside window
(there's a big, long wooden bench buried under there)

Here comes "Yellow",
one of two strays we've been feeding and
sheltering all winter
"Where's my dinner!?"
