I've been thinking....

...about a lotta things. See, that’s what happens when I’m outside raking and digging. Frees my mind to wander into the most interesting corners. In fact, it frees my mind up so much that it whirls faster than a dervish.
I can’t exactly tell you about what I’ve been thinking because I haven’t sorted it all out yet. How’s that for a pointless post?
Oh well. The one thing I can say is that some bloggy things are gonna change around here. Don’t know when or what, but change is a’comin’. Again.
Meanwhile, out there on ranch, we’ve have two perfectly beautiful days. Yesterday was more beautiful than today, with a perfect 85° and sunny skies and hardly measurable humidity. Today is even drier (red flag warnings in effect), but cooler at around 73°. Quite nice. Although....we need rain. Those little May flowers are apt to struggle if we don’t have some April showers pretty soon. It’s much too early in the season to be this dry. Of course, it’s also too early in the season to dwell too much. June could turn out to be a 12+ inch rain month.
In the meantime, however, the neighborhood is sprinkling lawns like mad. Except me. As far as I can see, my grass is growing just fine—the places where I actually have a lawn.... I’m going to have to mow in another day or two. And haul loads of mulch home and get some new landscaping materials and a couple of fruit trees and berry bushes and....and....and. Spring has definitely sprung. Many of our trees leafed out overnight and the neighborhood fruit and ornamental trees are in bloom. Gardening season has arrived.
Oh, and it’s now official. I have hummingbirds.
