Green and gold

Forsythia

Out in the fresh air, away from the basement’s blue electronic glow, spring progresses apace. Although we are under flood watch again and the wind blows easterly with highs in the mid fifties, still we have achieved forsythia and daffodils. Flowering pears are busting out all over. Robins and blackbirds have replaced sparrows under the feeders, and we’ve stopped putting out suet. Blackbirds are big and greedy. Goldfinches are molting into their summer colors. Nature, having lost its early purple, has turned all green and gold. The slant of buttery sun on spring grass is a balm to winter-weary eyes.
