Michael and I were driving down the mountain this evening. He on his way to Coral Castles practice to keyboard away until 10 or 11pm and me to a coffee shop to play on facebook too long, listen to the weepies and write a paper about one my classroom observations. (I found the school I want to teach at. And I just adore it!) We were driving though trying to remember the theme tune to the Brigadoon movie because the overlook at the top of the mountain always reminds me. As we drove purple colored specks painted the sides of the road. The trees were just barely starting to change and purple buds had decided to start the trend. They were so warm and so wonderful. And Michael said something like... "oh man... i forgot about the mountain during the spring." With a smile on my face and a little jump of excitement I agreed with him and hoped it would give us just enough energy to finish the semester.
Then I got to my coffee shop.
went on flickr.
Clicked "Annie Huntington" and found this glorious picture that expressed the happiness I felt to a tee about those purple buds and michael's comment.
and saw my dearest little sister that I so love and miss.
Visit Annie's flickr. She's captured Spring's beginning quite well.
