Sol Duc’s posture telegraphs her thoughts. “Where have you been? This is past your bedtime/curfew. I don’t like that and I disapprove.”
“But Sol Duc, I was listening to a band, and it’s only 9 pm. My muscles are feeling better! I am not sleeping twelve hours a night.”
Elwha: “Mom, I was asleep. Why are you out? Sleeping twelve hours is nothing! I can sleep for twenty!”
Me: “Ok, ok, I am home. I am going to bed!”
Body language can say so much! For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: muscle.

My magnolia is still being cautious: we’ve had one day this week of mostly sun and one of partly sun. I think each petal is considering carefully before it peels open. Glorious.

This is normal during the Great Port Townsend Bay Kinetic Sculpture Race. Feathers, headgear, human powered land, water and mudbog machines, as well as Kinetic Kops and bribery of the judges. All trying to be Most Mediocre.
Not whacky, nope.

My CSA tulip, from above.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
Yesterday I pick up my Community Supported Agriculture box from Reddog Farm. The box was ready on Wednesday but I forgot! I thought it started next week! At the beginning of the season, the box contains tulips. Though the tulips are not in the box. There is a sign: choose five tulips from the cooler. I love the tulips!
I love my CSA too. I have been in a CSA for all but two of the last 23 years. The first one was Collingwood Farms. My children loved the potatoes. They would look at me with sad sad eyes and say “These aren’t Collingwood potatoes!” when I would substitute ones from the grocery store. I could tell too. The local potatoes are much sweeter and more delicious.
A friend came with me to get my box and then we had sauteed leeks and kale at lunch. And Elwha likes to help with photographs.
We are blessed with choices of a variety of CSAs. They come to the Farmer’s Market, which also started last Saturday. I missed the goat parade, but went a little later and it was packed with people and produce. Hooray for the local farms and all the people supporting them in different ways.

Sometimes the wisest thing to do
is to refuse to watch the news
to go for a walk alone
and then go quietly home
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: wise.

This is one of the pieces Rainshadow Chorale is working on:
Yesterday we had snow in the morning for about an hour and a half. The lower part of the magnolia is still tight buds, but the lichens and mosses look very green and healthy and happy! Spring here is sometimes very long and in fits and starts.

My magnolia is poised to explode into bloom, but is waiting, waiting, waiting. It was 38 degrees yesterday morning.
