vernal vestiges.

oh man!
today is the day!!
spring is sprung,
uncoiled from the roots of the mountains,
unfurled from the sleeping roosts of the forest,
it's happening.
hard.
although,
the supermoon saw the supercooling of the woods
down to a deepfreezing divebomb of 13 degrees (F) last night.
is that nineteen lower than freezing?
it sure is.
spring-loaded thermometer plummets, ninjas.
that's a thing, i guess.
the secret universal plan's clever reminder program.
without the bitter the sweet's not as sweet, and vice versa.
whatever, neighbors.
it's spring.
despite the several-feet-high snowbanks,
it's time to bud, sprout, seed, sow, and otherwise begin to grow.
maple sugaring is in full swing,
and gallons of burly maple-blood are being boiled down
to the uber-concentrated syrup we all love to chug.
the pull of the nearer lunar orbit is pretty rad, kids.
i hope you mutha-uckas went outside and howled a bit,
because that baby-b!tch was bright and beautiful.

and that's not all that's happening, duders-
it's my ma's 60th berfday!!!
sixty years.
in a row.
daaaaaaaaamn.
that's no joke.
happy day to my ma, kids.
i hope there's gonna be cake.
without cake,
it's just a beautiful spring day.
the candles aren't even compulsory,
but the frosty frosting,
and the icy icing certainly are.
word.
***********
so,
it's spring.
the equinox that rocks our socks.
barefeet?
maybe bear feet,
because those duders are out and about,
snacking on our compost/buffet bin,
and otherwise shaking off the humdrum doldrums
that winter lets into their lairs and hairs.
i hope you guys are having as good a one as we are,
us hairy ursas, majors, and minors,
all clustered and cloistered in a boisterous ball
of Folk Life & Liberty and springtime fever.
the madness of march, y'all,
without a single basket, or singular ball....
a swinging set of two, however,
is what we're brandishing as an offering to
the rotational, gravitational, sensational springtime revolution
right here, as it happens, in real life.
happy spring.
