Just Pretty.

I spend a lot of time at my desk.
My desk faces east, in the sunroom with large windows all around. I am a morning person, usually up by 5:00 a.m. This time of year, it is just getting light as sunrise is just before 5:30. Sitting at my desk, I watch the sky slighten behind the mountains of the Swan Range, filtered by a bit of my woods.
To the west, the sunroom has both a window and a sliding glass door. The door leads to an alcove of grass in a corner made by the sunroom, which is tacked on to the end of the house. In that corner, shaded by a large Ponderosa Pine, is a small lilac bush and a patch of Lily-of-the-Valley. The Chair sits there. Karl likes to lie just beyond the big pine and keep watch over the ravine that is also an active game trail.
Earlier this week, on a gloomy, drippy morning, I brought a few sprigs of the lily-of-the-valley inside to sit on my desk. That pretty little cruet, the warm light from the little desk lamp, the perfect little blossoms…the little things.
…the well guys ??? and snow… (you can’t see it well in this photo, but it IS mostly snowing and blowing and when it is not doing that it is raining, cold and damp!)
So, Sunday an air whistling sound was emanating from the well. Monday morning the well guy was here toute suite and pronounced something was broken. Today, it is getting fixed. This truck is just the beginning. An excavating something is on its way to dig things up. And on such a nice day to play in the dirt…with VERY cold well water. Steve, Karl, Bob and I are watching from inside.
The good news is that whether the showers are snow or rain, the April showers will bring May (or June or July) flowers!
