sunshine!



it's been cloudy and often rainy for weeks now. yesterday it warmed up and the sun came out. i moved the tomato plants into the greenhouse for the day (they've been in the house under lights). the flat of lettuce has sprouted. and in the late afternoon, i dug out my sunhat and took myself outside to read on the deck. our backyard is almost ringed with large trees. no leaves yet. the air was full of birdsong, but the birds are small (little yellow and brown warblers) and you can't see them in the trees unless you look really hard. it seemed to me that the sound was coming from the thin and delicate tree branches, the tiny budding leaves. the sunshine brought everything to life.
