"The sun is brilliant in the sky but its warmth does not reach my face.
The breeze stirs the trees but leaves my hair unmoved.
The cooling rain will feed the grass but will not slake my thirst.
It is all inches away but further from me than my dreams."
- M. Romeo LaFlamme
(The First of March)
'Sentinel' Eye of the Elm__________
"March is a month of considerable frustration -
it is so near spring
and yet across a great deal of the country
the weather is still so violent and changeable
that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away."

Good news for you, Marmee! I don't have a clue regarding today's weather but the warm sun streaming through the window sure feels good.
Hi Anna ~ weather here is frigid but sunny. Glad you liked my elm eye (it stares at me outside my kitchen window) and quote (delighted to find it since the author shares my maiden name ... we must be related :)

It seems a bit challenging day for all, Brenda. At least you've been able to run around without sox :)

Hi Shady ~ I'm still chucking over your centipede ... love your humor :)
It is indeed a very old eye, Marnie, 100+, and the only elm left in our yard (5 others removed over 30 years ago). Like many stunning areas defined by tunneling majestic elms, this area too was devastated by rampant Dutch Elm Disease.
Hi Kim ~ funny how creepy reads! I adore this eye that thanks me for keeping a specimen of the American Elm alive!
