Gray…

Looking through the photos I’ve taken the past few days I notice a gray theme…

…I’m off to look for color tomorrow…

Vernal Equinox...

Pussy Willows

Close your eyes
and do not peek
and I'll rub Spring
across your cheek -
smooth as satin,
soft and sleek -
close your eyes
and do not peek.

Welcome to the first day of spring...

The most interesting tidbit regarding the vernal equinox that I discovered today came from Wikipedia...Although it sounds like fun, it is too cold here for me to think of suggesting this to my sailing husband...

"In Annapolis, Maryland, USA,
boatyard employees and sailboat owners celebrate the spring equinox with the
Burning Of The Socks festival. Traditionally, the boating community wears socks
only during the winter. These are burned at the approach of warmer weather,
which brings more customers and work to the area. Officially, nobody then wears
socks until the next equinox."
