Silicon Valley, No California
We had a colder winter here in South San Francisco Bay last December. I saw snow on the mountain top. Between New Year and now, we get a few showers along the way. Spring already started here in Mid February. Orchard flowers are blooming in the Valley of Delight.
With the 78 degree F temperatures experienced yesterday in mid February the bees are already working hard and try to gather their honey early. Rose buds are getting ready to show their finest flowers soon. It will be a beautiful but brief winter. We are overprepared for the EL Nino.
Robert Louis Stevenson who wrote the peom passed away and his widow lived about three miles down the road. She named the summer home in Santa Clara County, "Vanumanutagi" for vale of singing birds.
Flower God, God of the Spring”
Flower god, god of the spring, beautiful, bountiful,
Cold-dyed shield in the sky, lover of versicles,
Here I wander in April
Cold, grey-headed; and still to my
Heart, Spring comes with a bound, Spring the deliverer,
Spring, song-leader in woods, chorally resonant;
Spring, flower-planter in meadows,
Child-conductor in willowy
Fields deep dotted with bloom, daisies and crocuses:
Here that child from his heart drinks of eternity:
O child, happy are children!
She still smiles on their innocence,
She, dear mother in God, fostering violets,
Fills earth full of her scents, voices and violins:
Thus one cunning in music
Wakes old chords in the memory:
Thus fair earth in the Spring leads her performances.
One more touch of the bow, smell of the virginal
Green – one more, and my bosom
Feels new life with an ecstasy.
