five day

My five favorite days of spring are almost done. It's the five days in which the pear trees go from bare, stark branches, to branches heavily festooned with the bursts of white flowers, and finally to the pale green leaves eclipsing the flowers. It seems to happen so fast. Just last week the trees were stark. Today the thick bunches of white are giving way to the leaves.

But it does mean wildflower season is here.
