Renewal and resurgence

The crab apple tree that, for the last few years, I was considering having taken down has bloomed in profusion in spite of the cold wet spring and all the taller trees around it. The blossoms are a stunning rich deep pink and there are masses of them. I am overjoyed. My mother planted the tree and it is a lovely memorial to her as is the holly at the back door. I feel the tree is giving me a message to start blooming again and to use the limited time I have left in appreciating and sharing the beautiful and the good in this world

 The sun is shining but the sea is very angry and slapping at the shore this morning.

A delayed adaptation of a Christmas carol - I saw a flock of geese go swimming by on Christmas day in the morning.

Today the world was in a blue mist with sky and sea a wash of blue over gray until the sun began to seep through the clouds.

A frail craft upon the waters this morning - a lone kayaker moving rapidly through the water this morning about seven thirty am

The sky has a look of molten gold at the horizon this morning

First snow of the season and an early start to the season as well. I heard geese in the cove last night but didn't see any until midmorning when I saw a thin gray line swimming out of the cove in a southerly direction. I both saw and heard the ducks when I went up for the paper at seven a.m. It's now around four p.m. and the water is a very light silver gray, rippling and very cold looking.

I looked out my window and what did I see
but a big pumpkin orange harvest moon
looking in at me
