I wasn't thinking; didn't mean to be flippant here.)<\/p>\n<p>I think I'm still not ready to resume my old habit of posting a particular Swinburne verse; among other things, it's hard to say winter's rains are over when the sky outside my window is solidly gray and rough winds are shaking the darling buds of March.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the fact that those buds are there--the tree in my back yard suddenly burst into flower a couple weeks ago--is a definite plus.  I don't like that tree much, especially in fall, but if I follow through on my vague plan to have it removed, maybe I ought to replace it with something else that will flower outside my window in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you want the Swinburne, <a href=\"http:\/\/plantgirl.livejournal.com\/453197.html\">plantgirl has posted it<\/a>, so that's all fine.

I think I'll set it to the time of the equinox even though that's still ten minutes from now.<\/p>\n<p>...I'm amused that when I went to assign a category to this entry, I discovered that I had no category for stuff about nature or seasons.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About fifteen minutes from now as I type this will be the spring equinox.
