5/06/11 BIRCH AND PASQUE FLOWERS BLOOMING, AND ANOTHER GOVERNMENT PROJECT

PAPER BIRCH CATKINS IN BLOOM

PASQUE FLOWER ABOUT TO BLOOM

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT PROJECT?
Friday, 8:30 AM.  47 degrees, wind NW, light with some stronger gusts.  The sky is clear but for a band of clouds on the eastern horizon.  The grass is wet from yesterday’s rain and the barometer predicts more, but it is a fine morning.
    Pasque flowers, covered with dew, are about to bloom in a neighbor’s garden, and paper birch trees along Manypenny Avenue between Tenth St. and Eleventh St. are blooming, the catkins dangling like worms on a fish hook. 
    A bird, probably a robin, has carved out a nest in one of the not-so-dwarf Alberta spruce trees in the herb garden.  The construction is incomplete, behind schedule and probably over budget. I wonder what government program it is part of.
