slow goin’
Whether it’s in the stars or in the heat,
it seems we’ve reached the dog days.
A good excuse to take shorter walks and move a little slower.

a flower for your friday
Maybe a cold, snowy February slowed up spring. I returned yesterday to a path I don’t often visit, and though it was already a few days into March, I found no evidence there will be flowers in that area any time soon. So Friday’s flower this week is from last year at this time.
There was plenty of sunshine yesterday (yah!), and no one on the path but me and a few birds (yah!). It felt like pre-covid! I saw a robin, a woodpecker, a couple of towhees, and a cardinal pair singing to each other and playing some version of cardinal tag. They seemed oblivious to me. The songs weren’t long or complicated, but sweet sounding nonetheless. One or the other cardinal, perched on a low branch, would sing a few notes, and then they’d fly off together, to another tree, to another branch. Over and over.
Enjoy your weekend.

I usually remove the coneflower stems and flowers at the end of the season, but left some this past year, hoping birds could feed on the seeds.
Take care, all. Have a good weekend.

I suppose that’s more like a bunch of flowers,
but there’s no way to pick a favorite out of that bunch.
