dead leaf giving way




dead leaf giving way
to eager green leaves thrusting
upward to the light

Way too hot for early April. It feels like we've gone from winter to summer overnight. The daffodils are exploding in bursts of yellow and white against the dull brown remains of last year's litter. You can almost hear the spears of leaf and bud thrusting up, piercing dirt, dead leaves and even corrugated cardboard. How powerful and persistent is the force of sap!
