Tree on Tuesdays | Ecency

Spring and Washington, DC bring to mind cherry trees, most notably in the Tidal Basin, which is a man-made reservoir near the National Mall. There are daffodils and snowdrops already out, but, it is the cherry blossoms that are truly symbolic in their meaning. Spring is a time of renewal. Like most spring flowers, their time is fleeting, flowering profusely, then returning to Mother Earth. The Washingtonians have borrowed a page from the Japanese book, for weeks after the peak of the blooms, it starts raining blossoms, and there are Cherry Blossom parties and picnics, under the canopy of the trees

Ingest the beauty of the day. Happy #TreeTuesday!

Beyond the mountain called Cadillac
Sandy beaches and Carriage Roads
Fiddlehead swamps and rocky cliffs
Peaceful walks among the pines
Arcadia Park takes in the breeze

So many trees, so little time to hug them all. And if they could talk, they would thank you, and I would have to thank them back, for they can live without us, while we cannot live without them.

The Freedom Trail holds the Granary Burial Grounds
The artistic expression left on the gravestones
Surrounded by elms, seventeen by count
A few mighty oaks to balance the act

Being in Boston is such a wonderful treat, any time of the year! There is always time for a Tea Party!

Always time for a flower. #alwaysaflower

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

The Naming of Cats

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
