On March 21, 2017 it was now officially Spring, but the Sky that Day was domed over in Lead Gray and the Wind was Bitter Stiff. I walked up to the Second Hillside where there is a Place I call The Brakes. Lots of Plum Bush, Climbing Vines and Scrub Trees all Tangled Up that make a Windbreak Hideout for Deer and other Critters. But as the Afternoon wound down the Sky opened up to High Flying White Clouds and Low Angled Soft Spring Sunshine and I saw that the Plum Bush Branches were tinged with Tiny New Green Buds.
