First Day of Spring.....

 On the first day of spring,  Hearts that Bleed, popped up  for all to see.

  Mount Washington woke from its slumber, under a shelf of cloud.

 On the first day of spring, Cordelia peered over the fence to see if the coast was clear.

  And the clouds, and mist, rolled in , smothering us all.

 That first day of spring started out sunny, with the neighbour's cat, Spencer, lolling by the door.

  And the Mountain became clear, as the morning wobbled along.

 But in time, after first light, Cordelia decided to snooze  under the eye of the mountain.

   While Spencer and his brother begged for snacks. And the Hearts that  bleed, stood taller.

        Till the Mountain was swathed in mist. Smokey took to chasing Cordelia from her perch on the compost. And the rain began to fall.  Beneath the mountain. Beneath the clouds. Over the Hearts that bleed. This first day of Spring.
