somehow time seems to keep slipping into the future... and suddenly it's really spring.
yesterday it was too hot for more than 1 layer. crocuses are still bursting out all over, also daffodils. other flowers intermittently spotted (though the snowdrops seem to be gone), too. and i saw 2 flowering trees! i just love seeing trees in bloom. one was a pink flowering one, probably not an interesting kind at all, alongside a municipal parking lot. the other is a white flowering one, a tree that's either peach or apricot (can't remember), near harvard sq. and the magnolias aren't more than buds yet.
and forsythia is out! they're one of my favorite shrubs (perhaps b/c i used to hide under them?). the centerpiece at the 2nd seder was forsythia and daffodils, a happy yellow combination.
this morning driving in in the rain, it looked wintry again, stark tree skeletons outlined against the grey sky. but the individual raindrops hanging off the branches, only visible up close, looked like sequins. and once in the office, i can see a flowering tree, and one sending out its early leaves, in that lighter green color not seen later in the summer.
the 2 ducks that had neen in the small pond on the way to work have gone. i wonder where they'll end up?
2 canadian geese flew incredibly close to my window, honking as the headed north.
this is the 4th day of the omer.
