for Beth

20180531_182126

 

i have no idea what to expect here,  what to imagine.   A while ago,  when there was still RAIN,  there was a cacophony of sound of what i knew to be 

Spring Peepers

that,  being from one of my old lives  my childhood life in Michigan.  

i could see no one.  Were they the same?????  

today,  after the Rains Season,  now when it is becoming DRY,  on this cement block at the wheel of the Travel Trailer,  near where i water the Hydrangea daily….this small being….i think….a Spring Peeper….how the Circle   gently moves in it's circular spin,  slow and elegant 

a Spring Peeper.

    Sending me into my day with a big smile. A chorus frog for sure. I’m not certain the range of the peepers to the west. How such a tiny thing can sing such a big song is a continual mystery to me.
    And you’ve given me something else to chew on… The love of familiarity, knowing the seasons, the offerings of each month. So important to me. And yet, new wondrous discoveries, how that might be. It could very well balance the homesickness for the familiar. Love to you Grace.

    In the early years of living here in Maine, the melting heavy snow filled the western dip on the property and in the spring filled with peepers. A vernal pool the locals called it. Riley as a pup would swim there and ducks would stop in for a swim. So, filled with water not so long ago as he is 11.
    I thought it would be there always. But climate changed and the pool disappeared and has never come back. With this years heavy snow cover I has hoped—but no. I miss them.

    i so wish a return of the pool for you
    but we may need to know that it’s time has been Taken Away.
    I would make a Cry…a Banner…to ride under….for
    the Vernal Pools

    it was such a Wonder…with the winter’s rain. And to
    see her this close, now that the dry season is well
    underway. We gray water. But i like to think it is the
    Hydrangea.
