Erulisse Dances

The lilacs suddenly came into bloom on Sunday. There was an electric current running silently from one bush to another throughout town and everyone agreed on a time. Suddenly, where there had been leafy green bushes, there were verdant high clumps of flowers blasting forth with their heady perfume and delighting the senses with their colors. Dark and intense purples, medium red-tinged purples of the French varieties, and the creamy whites, all are now blooming and making the city beautiful. It always amazes me that they are so wonderfully giving of themselves. I love lilacs, they are a sure sign of spring/summer, and their presence throughout our city just makes it even more beautiful.

So I usually post on Blogger (and have for more than 1000 posts), then copy it over to Dreamwidth which copies it over to LiveJournal. A bit convoluted in a fashion, but it allows me to post all three places with a single post and I have different people following me on each site. Today Blogger, in its infinite wisdom, decided to upgrade and basically, it is now unusable for me. Complete trash! Total dreck! I am LESS THAN HAPPY!

So I will share spring with all of you, because I need to put my mind back into a happy place :-)

Yesterday I spoke about the poor groundhog, destined to be pulled from his comfortable burrow to view whether or not he sees his shadow, and thus predict the remainder of the winter. The poor thing. You would think that if the people can see their shadows, then so could the furry, sharp-toothed beastie :-)
