Tomorrow, Tomorrow

It feels like a birthday party or a wedding or maybe even a special surprise is about to happen in Woodhaven tomorrow. The Opening Day of the Woodhaven Eco Art Project is less than 24 hours away and there’s a buzz in the air with all that needs to be ready. Musicians, performers, writers and visual artists have buffed up their best ware to offer tomorrow.
I wonder if the critters know? Not sure if they really care. That herd of mule deer I told you about earlier has firmly established themselves here. They’re starting to eat the fresh greens on both the maple and hazelnut around the house and of course get in the last gobbles of snowberries down in the parking lot.
It seems like a perfect time to be holding this welcome. Spring is here in full regalia with the Balsam Root in bloom on the dry hillsides, the maple buds juicy, lime-green and full, the elderberry with shoots stretching upwards to the sun, mock orange and Saskatoon berry with their small translucent kelly green leaves bursting from thick red stems and the big black Cottonwood sending out its first leeching of aroma into the woods. If we get a little breeze the vultures might make an appearance and yesterday there were hawks circling above the meadow.
