  2. pastpeter – Sometime Senior Scientist, sometime Senior Pastor, now senior citizen, happily retired and living once again on Long Island, New York – the place people always want to leave but always come back to. Our retirement years have taken Marian and me to mid-coast Maine (A Maine Winter), to the New Hampshire Lakes region (A New Hampshire Journal), and then back to Long Island, where we had spent the 17 “best years of our lives” (Past Pastoring). We loved the north country, but are so glad to be “Home” (Long Islanders).

    “April is the cruelest month” – T.S. Eliot understood all too well. Haven’t we had this conversation before? Last winter? The one before? Isn’t much of life like this, waiting, waiting for Spring… for something to bloom?

    1. I always think March is the cruelest month – and then April arrives. I think in your new climate spring should reach you much sooner with all of her tender administrations.

        ”Tis true – we have daffodils and forsythia in bloom, and mid50s most days. It’s a welcome change, and indeed very tender. Sorry we missed NH’s 18in April snow!

      2. 🙂 It was a wet heavy one with lots of wind. Pick a nosegay of early spring blooms for me!

  4. Threadbare, I’d say. Time to spruce up. (And if you think that has to do with trees in New England, check this out:
    ” ‘Spruce’ moved from being an adjective, describing leather and other goods from Prussia [16th century] to a verb, meaning ‘make smart and neat’. The first mention of ‘sprucing-up’ comes in Sir George Etherege’s Restoration drama The Man of Mode, 1676) – http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/spruce-up.html

  5. Robyn Haynes – Australia – Robyn enthusiastically pursues a green and writerly life on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, where her background as a doctor of social anthropology equips her with an interesting slant on the human condition. She spends much time indulging a passion for her garden where she ponders life and attempts to stave off existential angst. In her more reflective moments she makes wry observations on courtyard gardening and its parallels with life.

    I like the composition of this photo. The words express so much – as I have come to expect from you
