after lunch egg hunt
warm in the sunshine, breeze makes it cool in the shade
Grass is ankle high - lots of little wildflowers blooming amidst the trees and rock outcroppings. Plenty of birdsong when the kids are quiet...
After the egg hunt the kids wander and play, adults sit and chat. Plenty of oaks here, the late rains have kept the grass green and flowers golden where it hasn't yet been mown.
Wish I could identify birdsongs - I can hear several but they all hide with the kids shouting in the woods - getting later and we should probably head home but the kids are having so much fun...
In their wanderings, the boys have found poison oak. I think it's finally time to wash up and go home.
Driving back it has struck me how new and fresh and amazing the landscape has looked today. Is it the coat of spring green, so brief in the foothills? Maybe the clear quality of April light? Or me?
