Here are a few more photos from our Spring Scavenger hunt, our first finds are *here*.
Our other finds, captured here, are:
*shade of green
*shade of green
*spring mud (with moss)
I had no welcome,
no fancy tea laid on,
so tired inside
that simply raising my arms
seemed too huge a thing.
But Madame Equinox
simply arrived,
put on the kettle,
and blew her breath
through my house,
making herself at home
as if she knew
how much I wished
for an end to cold bitter,
dusting the last leaves
of a forgotten fall
with pollen confetti,
to leave her card,
the sort of RSVP
I can never ignore.
