on a quick trip up coyote hill to visit the garden and water the wee sprouting plants,
out of the corner of my eye i spy a patch of snow white starry petals. 
starflowers!
my beloved favourite wildflowers! 
they are blooming, and quite prolifically, i must add!
nearby, a fuschia-pink wild alaska rose is trying to steal the show. 
look at me! i'm the colour of a lace slip 'neath the flouncy skirt
of a klondike goldrush saloon girl!

this is spring. 

this is what i live for after a long winter. 

****

life is good.
