Sunny day



'Tis beautiful today.

Blue and blue and sandy. Sky huge. Wind ruffling the stone reeds. A hint, just a hint, of buds on the trees, like they know something is coming, soon.

Several miniature iris have pushed up and are blooming, purple, in the front garden. They really are miniature--no more than three inches tall. Elsewhere, daffodils are a few inches tall now, still green.

Yesterday afternoon, I took a big black garbage bag and extracted some of the paper, plastic, beer cans, bottles, packaging and other stuff that had blown into the reeds and the undergrowth. Looks much better now. I hope everyone else will do the same with their bit of Mastic Beach... there's a lot of litter around right now, and it won't all fade or wash away.
