Renew!

Apologies for delayed postings here. Catching up after catching cold (again), argh.

The energy all around astounds me. The landscape seeming so dormant for long, cold months belies what is happening the whole time; the readying of uncountable springtime appearances. The big unlock message has truly arrived--the bursting is happening.

Renewals in no particular order...

Sandy's Missouri iris blooming began ahead of Pennsylvania"s.

These are everywhere.

Marge's flower plantings and cherry tree are very, very happy in front of our home.

Wendy added some footage of the now two-week-old baby goats...





There is plenty more about these charmers and their forebears on Wendy's website: Casa de la Tortuga

Last Saturday, Aidan played his cello for his teacher's student recital she held at the Philadelphia Union League.

The mom and dad who keep the ball rolling.

Wonder who that grandma is who stepped into the picture.

Post-performance rest stop while John fetched the car from parking.

Such a fancy place let a light bulb burn out!

And Aidan won the 200-yard dash at this week's track meet. He's trying hard for a school record on the broad jump. Quite a week in a young man's life. Wendy supplied the video she made of the event.

This morning, Marge planted some more out by her fish pond. The frog is still in the pond and Marge added tadpoles.

 Over in Oregon, Kelly's chickens are supplying eggs. She posted a group photo of her hens...

The girls. Clockwise:
Maureen O'Hara
Tina Fey
Chelsea Handler
Marge Simpson

May you have many Easters of renewal.
