daylight sit with the boy.
breeze from south. chickadees welcomed us out.
so much color on the ground now - pine needles, dead grass, dead branches and twigs, mullein, soil - showing up amidst the snow. it feels like the whole personality of the world comes out as the snow melts and exposes it. i may know what's under all the snow mounds and snow plains, but to see it emerge after all these months shocks me; i'm so accustomed to just seeing white, white, white.
walking later today, i had the gift of seeing a flock of bohemian waxwings feeding on insects on a tree. they would flit over to the trunk to pluck them off, then land on a branch briefly, then flit back for more. i imagine they're the same insects i've been noticing in abundance all spring. will look them up soon. saw bohemians in our yard last month, cedar waxwings came through last year and the year before at this time of year.
