Gardening is Wild

Yesterdays "after" is Today's "before":

Here we go again! a second wave of wall abolishment has begun. Spring is in the air and thaw has spurned us to rip out walls that kept us so snug and warm through the winter, and let the sunlight in. Our river whose huge flats of ice could be heard breaking, cracking dramatically these past two months have finally thawed and in the morning huge chunks of ice wash out to sea. It's a tidal river so in the afternoon this unwelcome flotilla returns. Other things have thawed as well. Our tenants relationship broke with a seismic "F-YOU" which boomed out and could be heard throughout all houses. this was speedily followed by an exodus people (not all pets), and bare neccesities (any one need a chainsaw,TV, and computer? we'll handle the dog poo).
Crocus sprouted and their sunny blossoms followed today. There may be a blizzard in N Dakota, (and it actually snowed last night 45 min's inland of us), but right here and right now it is mud season, and it is glorious. Sunny and above 35 degrees with the prospect of other tulips and bulbs to follow. I stood outside yesterday surveying my Queen-dom. Feeling satisfied I dubbed it lovely. Eagles soared overhead, and in the distance I could hear the sound of mired wheels spinning as someone fought to extricate themselves from some muck. AH YES!
