Finished with the yearly task of making sap for syrup the maples have painted on their crimson lipstick and are going all out in a reproductive frenzy of flowering. Willow tree cheerleaders toss their neon green pompoms across every breeze and eddy, putting on more leafy finery every day. It makes for a pretty fancy contrast. Pewter colored poplars are puffing pollen from kazillions of catkins, spelling out torment for those with allergies, but looking to me like stately candelabra of the forest.
Spring is getting itself fired up with as much enthusiasm as teen agers at a pep rally.
Yay spring...go...go...go!

Spring is like a teenager.
Does this mean that teenagers:
a) don't stick around long?
b) show up only once a year?
c) are pleasant only by comparison?
d) make certain people suffer?
e) wear too much maple lipstick?
f) like to toss their pompoms in the breeze?
Sorry, not clear here. Spring is a good thing? Or teenagers?
(insert obvious idiot smile here)
LOL

I love the spring pictures. I always wondered what coltsfoot looked like-now I know. Hope Mike is feeling better soon.
Steve, you kill me...laughing that is!
All of the above...spring is good. Spring is hectic. Spring is nice...we are too busy to see straight. Thanks for the laugh!
Anon, thanks I think
Tipper, thank you so much. He is acutely messed up today, but quite happy to stagger around scarfing biscuits. Poor old man
