March 30

Clover and I went for our walk earlier than usual today, and we were rewarded with this beautiful morning light at the edge of West Davis Pond.  It looks peaceful, but the pond is a noisy place this time of year, even at 7:30 in the morning!

When I was a kid, one of my least favorite crayon colors was spring green.  It seemed like such a sickly color.  In fact, we called it puke green, which hardly seems fair to me now.  Spring green was one of those crayons that always kept its point.  I don't think I ever really "saw" this shade of green when I was younger.  I guess I always saw a more generic green.  Now that I'm (a little) older, I've got an appreciation for the subtleties of green, and for this youthful first green of the season.
