    There are more bumblebees about the North Coast this spring than I’ve seen for many years.  That’s a good omen!  And already there are butterflies flitting about me as I run. Now that’s a little rush.


     


    Of course, the fruit trees and other flowering trees bear their flower buds first.  Even before most other trees produce their leaves.  Hey, they need that cross-pollination now in order to be fecund later on.  Leaves can wait.  Flowering trees understand that April is for screwing.


     


    To live right in the world is to love it.  For me, Dreamland isn’t about death and demise.  It’s all about life and the resolve to embrace it.


     


    So on a day like today, I’ll linger near the dam until sunset.  To watch the red fox ramble up from the stream, weave amidst the monuments, and scamper towards the highlands.
