The sun glints off periwinkle leaves in the yard where snow has just melted. All sounds come from a great distance: crow, woodpecker, train.

Blue sky. The snow has retreated to the northwest-facing hillside under the shelter of the trees. A train's whistle made wavery by the wind.

I just installed winPenPack on my USB 'Nerd-on-a-stick' -*much* nicer than PortableApps + good docs on how to make any app portable!

...it's also easy to install in a subdir, even on a USB stick, so all my portable Mac programs will stay available as well. ...

Sleet rattles on the roof like a fast typist. Two deer in the springhouse meadow: when they stop moving, they vanish into the brown weeds.

Out before dawn, I hear nothing but the drip of melting snow, gaze at a photographic-negative version of the woods: light ground, black sky.

This morning it's the titmouse's turn to sing his spring song--an ode to tedium. I'm grateful when it's drowned out by a mob of crows.

The wistful two notes of the chickadee's spring song. The gray clouds begin to turn pink. A rabbit dashes into the lilac when I stand up.

The wind moves snow back and forth across the ground like a restless sculptor. Trees creak and groan: a regular machinery of discontent.
about 6 days ago from web -
Snow in progress: curtains that fall and fall until they become the show itself. A nuthatch like a prompter--its anxious calls.

This snow makes it so much easier to keep track of squirrels, their mad chases on the ground, through the trees--showers of white dust.

A branch breaks at the top of an oak, clatters through the too-loose grips of lower limbs and lands in the new snow's too-shallow grave.
