bare tree limb tips dipped in green, white and lavender sunlight lingering into the evening, peepers peeping at dusk, worms slithering from the damp dark, bees, butterflies, spiders and ants, buzz, flit and creep, a hint of wet clay, fading leaves and first blooms in the mist and this, the first hummingbird sighting at the nectar jars outside my window it’s official...spring is finally here

NaPoWriMo2021 - Day 13 Prompt: This one is short and sweet: write a poem in the form of a news article you wish would come out tomorrow.
Here too Peter. We have leaves busting from the tree limbs and that blasted yellow pollen everywhere. Between work and tending to my sick dog the week got away from me but i am consoling myself with an old family recipe…a lovely toddy with some fine bourbon to sweeten it…oh yes and a bit of honey and lemon, to sooth my soar throat. it’s why i’m a bit of a homebody and hate gardening. i’m allergic to everything! 🤧🤧🤧
So it is easier for you to find all the parts/chapters of my ongoing fiction series, I created a new page that lists all the links. You can check it out HERE!

I’ve seen a hummingbird twice. One last week another this week. I have the same feeder-only where yours is white, mine is yellow. 😁 happy spring!!

Although still quite chilly, we have had a few days of glorious sunshine and nature has responded magnificently.
