In the Garden…

Walking early this morning in the garden, the dew chilly over my bare feet, the thrush sings. The lilacs are opening, blossom by blossom, the deepest violet still closed tightly, not yet ready to reveal.

This is good news I remind myself. I look back at my house where our cat sits in my daughter’s bedroom window. She’s sleeping yet, a whole day of sunlight and apple blossoms yet to come.

May. Spring in Vermont. The air this morning is sweet.

  1. I had the exact same experience early this morning, sunlit spring trees and a hermit thrush. A pretty sweet way to start a Vermont morning. I hope you and your daughters have a perfect and perfectly lovely day…
