This has been a year
Of extended blooms
And profuse meanings
Spring synesthesia
Everywhere abounds
Daffodils for three weeks
Straight and the magnolia
Still in all its glory
While just now the cherry tree
Has let loose its charms

I ran into our neighbor Alicia today who is the incoming president of our local garden club. She confirmed my suspicion that the cool and damp weather this April has gifted us with extended blooms, from one end of the garden to the other, it's like a florist's cold storage out there, and what's good for the flowers must also be good for the bees, who are already back in business, the hives roaring back to life.
