twilight sit with the boy and the dog on the porch.
woodcocks twittering in their circles, robins "deent"ing in their trees. snow is in fast retreat, giving way to the muddy, grassy flats of our back yard.
glorious day, blue skies as far as the eye could see, warm sun, cool breeze.
our tree frog pond has arrived along with the melting snow; it exists in the shallow cavity in the ground that once held an above-ground pool. the stars were beginning to reflect in it as i sat, amongst last year's cattail stalks. the moon is just a sliver, sinking after the sun.
