Green Land

Dock's In, Trees are green

Everything is turning green, the color of life, and as I look out my window, I see all shades of green, occasionally interrupted by a red bud or white of the Bradford Pear, but all is mostly green, Evie's garden, the rhododendrons, the maples, the hills off to the East, lime green of new leaves, dark green of the pines, light green of the maples, with still a bit of brown on some of the late blooming trees.  Some of our neighbors' azaleas are in bloom, a dogwood or two, some tulips or daffodils,  but the rest is all green, as we are having a very late spring, perhaps the wettest spring in recent history.

Evie is off shopping early, as we are having Ron and Linda over for lamb shanks, my request, with garlic spinach and polenta!  We leave for Jill's on Thursday, so we won't see them  for awhile, plus they are going to Germany in early June for ten days, a trip they try to make every couple of years.

It's another gray day, about 45, with rain expected this evening if not earlier.  Not much to do but read, get dinner ready, and start packing for our trip to Bristow.

We were able to get the lawn cut and do some work in the yard, even though it's been overcast and looked like rain.  I picked up some more gravel, so our road looks puddless for now, the way Evie likes it.  The lamb shanks are done, the polenta's ready to go, and I am sitting here having a bit of white wine, after a shower and getting cleaned up.  It actually looks a bit lighter over towards Bemus but dark towards Erie, and rains are expected tonight and tomorrow.  It will go good to hit the road though, of course, Saturday is supposed to be sunny and warm.
