Day 6 - 126 -- Buds and Blooms

After a meeting and an appointment -- both fairly productive -- I went for a walk in the sunshine that finally emerged today. The trees are in bud as are the shrubbery. There will be leaves and some more forsythia soon. On main street one of the larger white magnolias in town is in full bloom. This tree faces southeast and is in a corner of a brick building. This location provides extra warmth, so this one is often the first to emerge. The pink ones on the my block will follow soon. I'll have to take a walk around campus this week to see how the trees and plants are doing.

The air felt pleasant today -- some cooler breeze but wonderful warmth of the sun. I enjoyed the walk. The longer day yesterday has left me a bit tired today, though. So -- a lullaby-like selection seemed appropriate. The poetic lyrics present images of spring. The singer has a wonderful vocal style for this folk style. Enjoy!
