Wenn der Frühling sich an einen Fahrplan halten würde, müsste das eigentlich genau so aussehen 😎. #Springtime 2023 officially started 🚀!

This is an #audio clip from our weekend's #hike. I just love #birds #singing. #Springtime's not far away anymore!

Edit: Converted to mp3, it seems the clip won't play though. :(

I repotted my son's tree this afternoon. New pot and soil. I hope it's heavy duty enough to not blow over next rainy day. I received it 3 years ago and surprised it lasted so long. (I do not have a green thumb lol)

Signs of spring! What a difference from last week when we had 8 inches of snow.

The first camellia flower has opened and a massive bumble bee with a red and orange striped bottom was enjoying the red cowslips.

This afternoon will be the warmest so far. I’ll try to do at least something outside. After that comes a few days of rain.
Almost all snow is gone but the ice on the lake remains.
Yesterday, driving home, I saw a flock of geese flying in formation high up and heading north. Good sign!

I really need to make a new to do-list.

#DelhiRain

'Radha Watching a Storm'.

Dated 1854 AD & signed by artist Mohammadi Bax of #Mandi #HimachalPradesh #India (erstwhile #Punjab Hill State), this #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting was auctioned by Bonhams on 19th March 2018 for US$ 37,500.

The powerful & brooding presence of the #Peacock signifies both the arrival of #DelhiRains & amplifies the absence of her lover.

There’s been a well-documented shift toward earlier #springtime #flowering in many #plants as the world warms. The trend alarms biologists because it has the potential to disrupt carefully choreographed interactions between plants and creatures; #butterflies, #bees, #birds, #bats and others—that #pollinate them.

"Though we live in a world that dreams of ending
that always seems about to give in
something that will not acknowledge conclusion
insists that we forever begin."

#Poetry #Springtime

"Begin"

Begin again to the summoning birds
to the sight of the light at the window,
begin to the roar of morning traffic
all along Pembroke Road.
Every beginning is a promise
born in light and dying in dark
determination and exaltation of springtime
flowering the way to work.
Begin to the pageant of queuing girls
the arrogant loneliness of swans in the canal
bridges linking the past and future
old friends passing through with us still.
begin to the loneliness that cannot end
since it perhaps is what makes us begin,
begin to wonder at unknown faces
at crying birds in the sudden rain
at branches stark in the willing sunlight
at seagulls foraging for bread
at couples sharing a sunny secret
alone together while making good.
Though we live in a world that dreams of ending
that always seems about to give in
something that will not acknowledge conclusion
insists that we forever begin.

After an extended weekend, out of town for a couple of nights then a couple more days off mostly spent outside working on the garden, today I’m back inside working - staring at computer monitors - while the mind wants to be elsewhere. Outside it’s gorgeous #spring weather & not that far away this is going on…so here’s some more of the #Texas #wildflower photos I took last weekend while driving the #backroads between Austin & Houston.

Color photo of a patch of ground filled with purple phlox and white daisy-looking flowers with yellow centers.
Close up color photo of a stand of Texas bluebonnet flower stalks with trees and wooden building in the blurred background.
Color photo looking down along a barbed wire fence, to the right of it is a field full of Indian Paintbrush wildflowers that slopes up to a white farmhouse with a few trees around it. To the left of the fence is a rural backroad passing through the gently rolling southeast Texas countryside.
Close up color photo taken from near ground level of a thick patch of bright orange Indian Paintbrush wildflowers growing along the side of a country backroad.  In the blurred background can be seen the leaning poles of a barbed wire fence, telephone poles, and an old farmhouse with a rusted metal roof.

We are officially six weeks from May 1st, here in SE Wisconsin. That means 8 weeks to last frost.

I am absolutely thrilled to have started my plants as early as I did. It gives me time to get them bigger and stronger, as well as do a second sowing of anything that does not do well, or anything I want a second plant/second planting on.

This weeks goals are to get my 4-6 week seeds planted, and get some of my cold hardy plants outside.

On top of that, I have another raised bed to build (8x4x1), trellises need to be moved and/or placed, the ground needs to be mulched, and I need to finish weeding what I can.

Planting/garden/farm season is about to be in FULL SWING and I couldn't be more excited.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Garden spirits roam
Beneath the shrimp plants
Along the hibiscus
Between the orchids
Hanging soulfully
Their names carved
Into oddly shaped stones
A constant reminder
Of sweet furry paws
Gentle giants and little friends
Never forgotten

#TodayInMyGarden a tree covered in wisteria. The scent is amazing but you can see how invasive it is in my area. Oak trees are blooming at least a month early. Sky is blue and clear of the pollen haze we have had, but expect it will come back soon. This is the worst year for pollen in a long time. #gardening #SpringFlowers #springtime

I've finished this week's art project of American robin chicks in soft pastel. I think the birds look good but I'm not as happy with the foliage. This artwork will work well for spring greeting card designs though.

See the art in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/hungry-robin-chicks-in-the-nest-mm-anderson.html and soon in other sites listed in my profile.

Dirt caked under my nails
A breath of rich earthy perfume
Sunlight whispers welcome
Spots of green play peek-a-boo
A visionary explosion of hope
There are great expectations
Vibrant floral garden sprites
A prayer is lifted to heaven
I work and I wait...
