Margaret Renkle wrote a piece about the non-winter in the NYTs. She lives further south somewhere, and is unsettled by it there as we are here. I have been struggling with local television anchors sounding chirpy about record warmth and lack of snow. I want them to sound alarms and make at least as big a deal about the long term consequences of climate change as they do about five inches of snow in March. My anxiety about the climate runs deep and steady. And then a tiny, purple iris blooms in Susan's yard and it makes me catch my breath and whisper a "thank you" that I get to see another spring.

Spring….flowers bloom, animals and birds begin mating, meanwhile humans continue with their scorched Earth ways - war, environmental neglect, etc……😢
