Harbingers #SOLSC23

First hike, layers lost along the way

Mud, squishy squelchy beneath soggy boots

Skunk cabbage, aubergine and green, popping up to say hello

Red-winged blackbirds conk-la-reeing along the way

Vernal pools silent, waiting for their cue

Roadside ice cream stands closed to premature urges

Western sky still streaming light at 6:00 PM

So close

Thanks for wondering and wandering a bit with me today. And many thanks to the crew at Two Writing Teachers, and the extended SOL community, for giving us the time, space, and encouragement to live the writerly life here every Tuesday throughout the year and daily during the month of March.
