spring in mcdonald ohio

coltsfoot blossoms, violet leaves, deer and coon tracks in the mud, intricate furry oval clumps that are buds, red & white + grey + yellow falling and hitting the earth with soft "thpts!" like raindrops...rousing a hawk from a perch overlooking the murky pool where the peepers trill evenings. It's much too hot to think properly... carrying home 3 cans & a bottle of northern beer... wind blows hard then a smattering of rain
