4/25/10 SURF'S UP!

A "DITCH IN BLOOM"
MARSH MARIGOLDS
CHOKE CHERRIES
WAITING FOR A WAVE
"RIDING THE WIND"
TOES IN THE WATER

Sunday, 8:30 AM. 44 degrees, wind ENE, quite strong. The sky is overcast and the barometer predicts rain, which we got about .2” of yesterday, not much but welcome nonetheless. This is looking like one of those springs when early and later flowers bloom together.
The marsh marigolds (Caltha palustris) are blooming in swamps and roadside ditches (these along Turner road). Juneberries and cherries are beginning to blossum, these choke cherries (Prunus virginiana) are along Star route.
Lucky and I went to the beach this morning, where the surf was up and the birds were obviously having a good tome riding the wind and waves. Birds and other animals I am convinced often do things for the pure joy of it. They play, and we should as well.
