The flowers knew about two weeks ago. The birds and all the trees are getting with the program. My lawn must have been the one to cue the flowers in, as it has been going strong for about a month.
In the weeks after Christmas, when it was dark and rainy, we longed for this Season. Now that it is here we see all the work it has brought back to us. Mowing, pruning, and other assorted chores are now the norm until almost Halloween.
However, a Summer here in Portland is a glorious thing. Some days there isn't a cloud in the sky, and the mountains seem close enough to touch. We sit in the evenings and dream of the tomatoes, or peppers in our garden, and wonder if we'll ever get any nuts off the tree before we are robbed by the local squirrels.
But the sitting and thinking part is still a long way off. It's back to the chores, at least for now.
