My annual “day off.” This year it grey cool and wet day. I visited Greenway Garden Centre and Belgian Garden Centre. So nice to be among the flowers and the green growing things!
I also started a mandala. Richard Rohr wrote about using the mandala as a spiritual practice, a kind of prayer. Here is what I’m working on.
Spring!
After Thursday-Friday’s snow, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday the weather turned to spring. I walked to church. I started digging in the ground. Monday’s brief thunderstorm brought toads singing!
I am so very grateful to be living here!

Mountain Jay
I went for a walk with my camera on Sunday evening. Not far from the Gehiere’s home I saw a mountain jay hopping around the flower bed. I wanted a picture. When I went around the bush it had just hopped behind I found this:
an apparently dead jay. I snapped a bunch of photos. And started to move away.
Was that movement?
Head pops up. Silly jay! Just didn’t want it’s picture taken.
