Now What Am I Going to Call This?

the birds
have come back

they are such slaves
to time and place

outside, singing,
just now

[sasha]

been hearing the tufted titmouse... woodpecker display drumming... and today I heard (and saw) the season's 1st phoebe... wood frogs can't be too far behind. The roads are drying out, should be ready for fresh gravel & a grading in a few weeks... sat outside yesterday for a while in my deck chair. Air was chilly, but that sun is WARM...

and from nir-oz,
spotted on Saturday
flock of storks due north

[saw]

very little migration in the mid-Atlantic anymore
Ducks, Geese stay now, and most other species can handle the winter here
of course there is more activity now, but the planet she is a-warmin'
and I look at the season's much differently. I barely used my wood stove for instance
next picture post will be my flowering cherry tree out front...stay tuned

when I was a kid, opossums were a southern critter - now they're common roadkill hereabouts, & my sister even has one living behind her garage. The climate deniers are screwing over their own grandchildren. There's a special place in Hell for those people - it's called Earth, 2075 A.D.

I barely used my wood stove for instance

saw, you must be living in Baltimore South Carolina because I've had my woodstove going 24/7 since the 1st of November til just the last few days - last night was the first night since October that I didn't have a fire going all night -

sasha. there have always been possums here in the great state of Yew Nork, at least since the global warming that occurred end of the last glacial maximum - you been preaching against the cold & snow all winter so calm the fuck out and enjoy the possums
