Wind Advisory

 A very blustery March day.  I am hoping the blossoms on the Star Magnolias don't blow away.

Here's a photo of them from last March:

Here's a poem by Rilke:

 

"Harshness vanished. A sudden softness

has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.

Little rivulets of water changed

their singing accents. Tendernesses,

 

hesitantly, reach toward the earth

from space, and country lanes are showing

these unexpected subtle risings

that find expression in the empty trees."

-  Rainer Marie Rilke, Early Spring
