This week we commemorated ANZAC Day for our Australian friends, and tried to honour Earth Day by rakin' and diggin' and cleanin' one little corner of this beautiful planet. Unfortunately it started out as cold as the trenches in Gallipoli a hundred years ago. Snow flakes fell like tiny white flags of surrender. And who needs sunglasses or keys to the ragtop when it's cold enough to freeze the birdbath!
But the bird migration doesn't stop for a little cold. April's Early Bird Special includes a serving of sparrow, a feast of flickers, a garnish of goldfinch and a topping of towhee. Don't forget your jar of junco!
Back indoors, the tempting smells of roast chicken or lasagna or even spaghetti makes a man fondly remember his mom's kitchen. Add a pie in the face and the nostalgia grows along with his belt size...
By week's end the early bloomers coloured the earth's days from drab to rad. Intense pinks, blues, purples, and yellows made those sunglasses seem needed after all. Like the local ferry in it's new logo, all of us are travelling in good spirits...
