Lambs and Lions: Beware the Ides of March

 Et tu, Brute - Vocative case, Grade 10, 1958

March entered as: lamb/lion?

Last night the "wool" flew

white-out and aurora alert

Wool on fair ways

Bah, bah, 70 cm deep

Again - again often an

hours-long thunderstorm.

 Between 3 and 4AM we heard

the roar of the lion after a flash of  lightning.

Now I cannot see:

Hearing Life?

On his blindness ?

 Not a tree? March Fern!

 Else extinction awaits

 If you do not walk.

Two heads are better than one

 I have often visited the osprey nest that is visited each Spring by a pair of eagles. Some visits are good ones and I see a visitor. Some visits I meet the farmers who live and breath nature and tell me of their encounters. Spring after Spring. 

 

But this year has been different.  There have been repeated reports,

And I have seen an eagle on the tree:

 

 Well? Nothing.

 

 Maybe too close or anxious? Back off?

 

 Days past and then Dorothy and Donald phoned: the "Eagle" has landed again. And off I went to see.

 

 And there they were! Maybe the will stay this year?

 

All the best,

Eclipse Memories

 Savour the good weather,

Enjoy what you are given

The Moon rose! Clearly!

Looking East  at 6:30PM I was actually surprised at how clear the sky was.

 So, up at 4AM, down to the lounge,

(The conductor's notes?)

 It has started.

 So has coffee and Timbits!

 Then it was over.

 

I checked again Tuesday evening:

 And one can see some craters entering shadows in the upper right.

Then the weather changed. That is the way it is -

March eclipse: Blood Moon

Starry trails into the leafless 

Never to return

June Memories

 Pink clouds looking West;

 

 

Memories - Fair Isle - Sea  pinks

 

 

March peace And Spring Lambs

Has Spring/Frühling risen?

 We don't have the snowdrops reported from England and Germany but this afternoon I saw  flowerpots  through the snow!

 

 

 

 

 And when I looked about I saw a gazibo also poking through!

 

 

Sure signs of Spring,

 

sigh,

Did March enter as a lion or a lamb?

 Baby, its cold outside! But if the sheep have not been shorn then

Shearing Your Sheep  is a must before lambing.

The Ettrick Shepherd doth speak.

On the other hand, the lion's teeth are not far away:

 Can almost feel its breath.
