This is a time of year when the world seems to waver between Winter and Spring.
We have feedback from two of our Early Morning walkers.
Walking this morning I saw frost on roofs and newly mowed lawns. No April showers. Who's complaining? from Ralph in B.C.
And from Clinton on Good Friday. 5:30 A.M.
It was magical.
A trail of silvery phosphorescence
was undulating on the silent Sound.
Venus and two stars of Orion’s belt were bright enough to be visible alongside the
pearlized
pendant
of morning moon.
A ghost wisp of whiskery fog cloaked Possession Point, shrouding in mystery the passage to the sea.
A
shaft
of moonlight
cast a
silver disk
and the wind riffled the surface, giving the water
a cobbled finish.
A moist breeze caressed my check as powerful
turbines
propelled us through the fifteen-minute crossing.
Lights, orange beads in the distant dark,
delineated the shoreline of Edmonds.
I could see the dark hump of Whidbey Island meet the water with twinkling toes
of house lights and dock lights.

So thank you both for these different glimpses of early spring mornings! For those of us who are up and about a bit later in the day, this is a whole new world!
