Dancing toward spring


I had so much fun with the spring reading entry, and inspired by my friend Linda who blogs every week about her quilting (http://lindadrawingtime.blogspot.com/). That I’m aiming to give it another try.
I’ve just made a romp through this blog and maybe I’ll get the momentum back from more than seven years ago when I first posted. I found lots and lots of cat stuff—that a constant in my life. Surely an update is due? When I started this blog I was in a little, I mean little, southern town—beautiful but this city girl thought about home in Houston just about all the time. Gradually we’ve been making the transition back to the city. I’m still loving it--most of the time.
Now as Easter approaches spring is all over the city. or nearly spring.  Flowers everywhere, beautiful spring flowers.

Brown leaves, leftover leaves,
abandoned leaves scattered
across gray pavement.
Lonely leaves.

high on the frisky March wind
spiraling, turning

You caught it...a few croci up here with the snow...but interesting the March winds are still in Houston. Sing away! But where is that cat.

I loved your post. But I am sad that "they" say the bluebonnets are going to be sparse this year, because of a dry winter. Sigh. Most of Texas is now in a state of drought....again. But did love seeing those flowers!
