Salutations small Siberian Squill,
Rising from the icy dregs of a hill.
Bowing in breezes on a fairy mound,
Its still shadow doesn’t make any sound.
After Lady Winter’s chill ermine shroud,
Its azure beauty makes me sing out loud.

Note: This drooping blue beauty is Scilla siberica, one of the earliest blooming bulbs. I apologize for not having time to comment on posts this week. My van is in the shop, my middle child is on crutches, my novel deadline is looming and I’m nowhere near done. My kids will soon be on spring break. If only I had more time, or more brains or more hands. Something. Meanwhile, at least there’s magic! Hope you have a great week! Warmly, Brenda

Thanks!! My middle child will heal, but it will take a few weeks. My elder is very upset we had to cancel our trip. We will try to have fun anyway.

I sent my book out. To a UK agent! I heard via the MSWL that she is looking for a new animal series, and that is what I have. I have polished it until I’ve given myself carpel tunnel, so fingers crossed for my baby. As for the van — good as new. As for my second son — he has a boot that could stomp a gopher and isn’t afraid to use it. LOL

I also wished to extend a hope for son, who may need to be held down by duct tape, I know they will be so active, no matter what. Sorry about his accident, though. I missed you!

He’s way more precious than the Easter Bunny. LOL He’s always been cheerful, from his first few days.
