How can one week make a landscape feel so different?
The trees are leafing out, especially the Tupelos; the scrub oak is redder with catkins. Grape vines are blossoming like roses. The Russian olives are in flower. Possibility abounds.
Phyllis texted, remembering that my wedding was 50 years ago Memorial Day. Somehow it doesn't feel as different as the landscape change in one week of spring. How is that?
50 years. 5 decades. Chunks of big time marked by two careers ( tech, education and tech) and three children , and now six grandchildren ( one of whom is ten) but all the time the same partner, Josh.
Many of the people at our wedding are still our friends and family, although our parents are gone.
There are still new things to discover and learn about. I was surprised by a chuck-wills-widow, two ovenbirds and a brown thrasher this weekend. And happy to see golden heather in bloom.  |

Although AlmanacPond is dry and so is the second Pout Pond, the Norwood Ponds and Wigwam Ponds are alive.
