Green-Up Time

Suddenly the patch of green across the street is aggressively, deeply, heart-feltedly green. This is lovely. However, with the rain yesterday (and rain later today, I am informed) came serious drive-very-slowly-over-that-bridge-cause-it-might-just-pick-your-car-up wind, which means that there are leaves and seed pods all over the street, and branches, and two fallen trees (fortunately they fell well back from the street). Walking Emily this morning, I noted that she was intrigued and suspicious about the fallen lumber. "This was not here yesterday morning. And it might hide interesting things! On the other hand, there might be goblins. Also: wet. Let's go home and have breakfast, mom."
