Aaah Spring

Simple early morning pleasures. Cinnamon toast. Tea. Camembert or brie on a light rye is also very good. A special memory for me. Camembert is better; depth and nuance. If brie is like a girlfriend, camembert is like a lover.

Yesterday was the warmest day since November 13th. Five months. Wow. An old fashioned winter.

Fast food, my favorite, will be returning fast in this late spring. Ducks, geese,herons, cranes, eagles, loons, swans, others, and all the small ones that sing. It is a good thing that we do not eat them all . We can appreciate them in different ways. A mourning dove sang yesterday. Something else will sing today.It is nice to have them back. I look forward to pelicans for a day or two, on their journey north.

And fish. I am a sucker for open water fishing. In the spring you can fish from shore or wade.It is simpler and it works for herons, too. I was dock fishing in Florida once on the Gulf coast and had caught some porgies and redfish( I think). I heared a small noise and turned to look and was startled by a heron as tall as I , sneaking up like in a cartoon and three feet away. I yelled and nearly jumped in the water. His/her intention was to steal my fish. Stalking. As w/ a scorned lover, you don't want to turn your back on them.
