Blowing Through My Mind
The Treehouse flowers
are ablaze with rich fiery colors. I am amazed that so many of them are
hanging onto their petals in the gusty winds that have been blowing
them every which way these past few days.
Some of them
have become scattered bits of color on the ground, but most have held
onto their attractive finery. The winds have kept the skies fairly
clear, by preventing scheduled ‘controlled burning’ from covering the
north state with unhealthy smoky haze.
The moon will be a full ‘Pink Moon’ on the 25th. It won’t actually be the color pink. The Farmers Almanac enlightens us with this information;
• Full Pink Moon – April
This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is
one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for
this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the
Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was
the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.
Another nice thing about these
April winds are the cooler temperatures. The winds are keeping the
temperatures down in the 80’s where it is nice and comfortable. If it
weren’t for the blowing air, the heat would quickly turn these beautiful
flowers to dust.
This year
we have some of the biggest, reddest, roses I have ever seen. Their
perfume permeates the atmosphere of our little community. Life is sweet
for those who stop and smell the roses.

The Monday Jamboree
was particularly melodic yesterday. I only forgot a couple of words to
the songs, and Peggy played the recently tuned piano with inspiration.
Kathern Sherwood stopped in to sing a few tunes, and a good time was had
by all. Hear A Song
Jackie and Darlene served up peach cobbler with whipped cream after the music. It was very tasty.
