Monday Morning and First Light
Yesterday two wild turkeys were perhaps looking for a nesting site. Two hunters came by soon after and asked permission to hunt - I told them that our neighborhood association rules forbid hunting. Clicking on photos enlarges them.
Thank you Nettie and Fred -
Remember to look up at the stars and not
down at your feet. Try to make sense
of what you see and wonder about
what makes the universe exist.
Be curious.
And however difficult life may seem,
there is always something you can
do and succeed at. It matters
that you don't just give up.

Although it's still too cold to work outside, we smell amazing moldy, musty, earthy odors, wander through the woods, and look at emerging plants and flowers. Somehow these small but determined flowers are more important, at least to me and early species bees, than the blatant gorgeousness of bee-competitive summer blooms. The rabbits brazenly court this spring's litters blithely unaware of hawks' appetites and angry dogs.
