Day One ten (110)

Happy Easter/Ishtar!  Happy happy Sex and Fertility Day!  Eggs and Bunnies rule!

I took my ghost-dog Molly for a little sobering walk after arriving home slightly tipsy from a wonderful delicious Easter dinner with Angelina and her family!

It is funny how we always say to children, "Wow, but you are getting so tall!" as if we don't really expect that to happen, as though it is a big surprise that children actually grow.  But still, it is somehow miraculous that this tiny little gorgeous thing, held by a much younger Matthew too, in a photograph taken exactly four years ago to the day,

has grown into this beautiful tall four year-old of today.

Such a bright little bundle of energy, such a little enchantress!

There is a little deer trio whose territory is very close to my house, I think, as I often encounter the three of them together.  Today one gave me a little show.  She was as curious as I was, and stood for a long time contemplating me before turning and giving a dramatic acrobatic leap and away!

A little blurred but what athleticism!

All the little spring buds and blossoms and leaves are slowly emerging, out of the cold of last week, and the bees have released their queens, so there will be eggs and new babies soon, and workers toiling the happy meadow which will produce Celandine and Milkweed and Butter-and-Eggs and Evening Primrose, amongst others, for their sensual delight.
