I can feel Spring on its way. The sky is trying to turn blue. The frosts are gone. Nobody blew leaves around with power tools this morning. School’s out and work is a million miles away.
We make food. Tend the garden. Wash our clothes. Soak beans. Hope for epazote. Take long walks. Soothe sore muscles. Reheat coffee. Work a puzzle. Plan a meal.
Fill out a tax workbook. Recover a password. Sing a song from memory. Remove clutter. Put the luggage away. Watch for the blue jays. Lie on the couch. Imagine we can hear a cat.
The calm won’t last but for now it will do.
