Happy April!
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you’re two months back in the middle of March.”
~ Robert Frost
Sounds of the Night
We’ve been blessed to have been experiencing warmer temps of late. Spring has finally sprung. It’s warm enough to crack the windows at night and allow the sounds of the night lull one to sleep and then to wake up to a gentle chill and stillness of the morning.
A soft breeze comes and goes, carrying with it all the lovely neighborhood sounds we’ve missed since November … a dog barking, children singing, the crickets chirping … A sliver of a crescent moon hangs low in the sky.
We realize how long this winter has been ~ how insulating against all sounds of life it has been ~ when the windows can be opened again.
Nature Notes: November 23, 2009
The days have become increasingly shorter. So much so, that I long for the dog-gone days of summer. I wait in anticipation for the new season to come around once more – to allow me more “day” time. The weather has been hot, cold, rainy, and foggy. Today, it is muggy. The temperature lingers around 71 degrees farenheit. At times, I find myself wanting to move back home where one can experience all the seasons in all their glory. But alas, I remain steadfast.
