Puffy whites in blue sky
Blossoms on the cherry trees
A raven gliding by.

At the feet of forest trees
Bleeding heart and sorrel
Bumbling with bees.
Spring is here! Spring is here!
Shout it loud and clear,
Birds in love
Even bugs and slugs
Spring is truly here. |

I had started feeling a little sick the evening prior, but went out looking for frost flowers anyway. They were all along the trails, though no dramatic gravity-defying, laws-of-physics-defying ones. I was able to mark the nondescript little twigs and branches that are home to the magic mycelia, so no one will helpfully kick them toss them away, to make the trail neat. I felt terrible by the time I got home, and my home covid test was positive. Twice. Even though I still always wear a mask. |

In the headlamp a crystalline world, frost glittering and dancing everywhere. The gauge was frozen shut. The gauge was frozen to the post. How could I leave for an early morning appointment, how could I leave frost flowers unseen along the trails? I did not even have time to go back to the house for a rubber mallet. So the gauge did not get emptied until evening, after driving home in dense fog. Fog is a good sign for tomorrow, for mycelia pulling down moisture from the air, freezing air, to create long curving strands of ice, to create frost flowers. |
