This morning I woke up fantasizing about growing honeysuckle on my back fence, and planting that hedge of roses I have been wanting to plant in lieu of a fence, and how lovely it would be to grow a big mass of wisteria in the front yard so that it could be near the porch. I thought about the trees I would like to plant, and how I would like to paint the trim around my windows and my front door. I thought about the little loquat tree my mother offered me, a baby from one of her trees. I couldn't quite get a mental image together, but it was nice to wake up thinking about plants. My first encounter with beauty today was in my daydreams.

This afternoon I got to wander my new yard without snow/frost and when I pushed back some leaves I saw dozens (possibly hundreds) of bulbs poking their little green eyes out of the ground in the perimeter beds.
While it may not be particularly stereotypically "Butch", I do like having lots of cut flowers around the house in the spring. I can't wait to see what all these bare branch tallish shrubs turn out to be! |

Waking up to the sound of birds chirping even though it is still dark outside. Their little voices sound so cheerful.

My next door neighbors have been married for 54 years, She is entering the beginning stages of Alzheimer's, which has been painfully evident these last few years.
The three of us were chatting it up this morning over coffee and She stumbled and fumbled when speaking about Her daughter, She could not come up with her name. He, gently said the daughter's name without missing a beat, held her hand and kissed her. She has bewilderment in Her eyes, He has understanding and love that is immeasurable. She is beautiful, He is beautiful, They are beautiful.

I'm in love with the beautiful color of the sky on my way home. The sun has set, it's a golden orange to the west and the blue of the sky turns to dusk when I look to the east. Such an incredible event, everyday. Lucky to see when it's not stormy

- re-reading "a clean well-lighted place."
- hearing Cassandra Wilson's version of "Love is Blindness" - a fellow poet's encouragement to write "even when not inspired"

Watching the crows trying to get a rise out of our feral cat. They were not successful, but I found just watching them seem to work together compelling and beautiful.

Seeing the mountains as I come home from work each day. There are four paths I can take to come home and each route gives me the same breathtaking view of the mountains in my area. The first time I saw them with the realtor, we were both speechless because we hadn't expected it. Years later, I'm no longer speechless, but I smile on most days when I see them. Lucky me to be surrounded by such beauty. |

Today I made (belated) valentines most of the day, and that process was beautiful to me. And I started coloring a mermaid page from my oceans coloring book, and that was both beautiful and happy-making. And a friend sent me a truly gorgeous mermaid-y song by a person named Lydia Belle: http://8tracks.com/lydiabelle/of-the-sea
