time and change in balance

i have put my name on a piece of paper~
a purchase agreement
selling my oldfarmhouse
and moving to the place i've been calling home, if all goes to plan.
this weekend, a warmer (relatively) night
the first night i've heard a welcome home timberdoodle
winging circles overhead.
also my first robin.
spring happenings hereabouts. 
here is my little beaver essay
a small black dot
 middle rear ground, just in front of the ice
moves left, becoming a log shape,
swims to center then left again
before coming close to me on the bridge, 
then swimming away.
not one tail smack, 
so this beaver wasn't worried about me.




and in the last photo it's heading towards me
standing on the bridge taking rotten quality phone photos

 this place moves me deeply
 and then i looked up!
 back down
 and 
 the next morning was cold and sunny

ice skirting streamside treetrunks
 i drive this road home to the farm
 where i found more springing
 and then a worm moon
 see the nest?
there's a ring around the moon
 and this is the best my little camera can do
hannah is moving me from blogger, with whom i have struggled
back to squarespace where my website lives
sometime this weekend.
fingers crossed i can adjust and we can converse on the blog
because blogger won't let me talk with you.

not a fan

i am definitely not a fan
of daylight savings time.
i go home
later now because of the new school
and a student i tutor
and it will be dark so early.
arrgh.
 so the week we just 
said goodbye to
was full.
many
 books came to my house:
 but by far
the most special was this one
another by carol blinn
guess what it's about!
 beaver are newly busy
over at the new place
 they get to work and nail the aspens
stealth chewers,
 better than a tupper lake logger.
 this startled me on my walk tonight
 all light and shadow
and edges
 two feed sacks on the
barbed wire
we had a big wind on friday
as the front moved through.
 a textile?
 a fence.
 and the six calves
separated from their mums
came trotting and snorting and asking
for a photo shoot
how could i not oblige?
another edge
in front of my pasture.
autumn today, really chilly
clear, sunny, hat and mittens weather
again.
