I really dislike the heat. The older I get, the more it bothers me. I say that after the high today of about, or at 90 degrees. That's crazy for the beginning of April. I said I wouldn't go outside to work today, but I got up early enough to do just that. The joy I felt at witnessing the new life bursting forth so soon in the season and with such power, was exhilarating. It was almost like seeing it in time-lapse photography. Sort of like the energy coursing through everything around me, was also including me. Must have been the gratitude I was experiencing due to the very miserable winter. After I returned from California, I started a painting of heirloom bean seeds. Jay Jr. posted on Facebook "Seeds the New Eggs", because of the painting and my excitement with the seeds. It was an inside joke, but thought provoking. There certainly is a strong connection between seeds and eggs. Maybe I'll paint some more.
