A Spring Afternoon

Forsythia explodes, yellow on blue. The red-winged blackbird's constant call.  Too much brightness for one frame.  Tulips round and open.  Burning papers.  Lemon delights* spread the lawn.  A petal's clean lines.  Pip hangs the clothes.






































*Thank you, Haven.

  2. I'm sure there's a good reason, so read no judgement here - but why, pray tell, are you burning those books?

    The clothesline shot is exquisite.

    Heidi,
    Because we HATE BOOKS! Actually, they're old rototiller advertising leaflets from the back of the coop. I spent a day cleaning half of it out and burned some of the weird paper stuff that's collected there over many decades. (I also filled over a dozen garbage bags of trash and half a dozen of scrap metal and consolidated buckets and buckets of old oil sludge...but I didn't burn any of that.)

  4. p.s. When I posted it, I thought it looked suspiciously like Fahrenheit 451.

  5. p.p.s. And I burned instead of recycling them because we had marshmallows to roast.
