Still water reflects gray sky before splashing over downed log. Rooster crows. White-throated Sparrow picks through upended tree root system part of the natural debris bordering the falling-into-boulders land. The tree root system where a paper wasp nest found protection last year but no defense against winter. Tiny white flies randomly appear, like the beginning of snow not sure it should be falling. The three sit in the kitchen while I open a new box of biscuits.
Beginning the first day of May.
