Spring?

[learnteach]

The mustard is blooming already, as are the nasturtiums.   The weekend was cold rain and my one trip out put my heart in my throat from wind/rain/visibility on the bike, and now it's balmy breezes.

I love living in California...but I need to speed up to catch up with the weather!

Time to wake up and get moving.   Aieee!

On the planet where I live, there is no such thing as blooming or flowers. All is white and covered with ice or slush. Occasionally, the ice melts back, revealing brown or gray stuff beneath, but then there is another storm, and the eternal world of white returns. But when there is a sunny day after an ice storm, everything sparkles and glitters, and falling ice makes a constant tinkling sound.

In May, I will move to another planet, which is filled with pink and yellow and purple everywhere, and overwhelms the senses with its rampant senseless enthusiasm.

In June, I will move again to a world of green, such as you Californians cannot even imagine. It is lush and shady and rich, and full of the sounds of small living things, some of which light up in the night, flickering and glowing and spreading enchantment.

In October, I will move again to a world of red and orange and yellow and brown. The sunlight streaming through the leaves will fill the air with glowing honey, and at sunset it will look like the entire world is on fire.
