I am at a place where the foliage play the weather guy. From luscious green leaves entwined with flowers to raining down yellow and gold in the chilly Autumn wind, from showing off the shape of their heads and a few hidden pigeon nests to sprouting fresh new buds in a plethora of shades in spirited Spring, it is a lot of activity that I’ve missed to experience ever before. Once I was jokingly told that I am more acquainted with the trees of this town than the people; such is the fascination that lasts the whole year and then some more.
Last December, all the trees got their haircut and the late bloomers quickly shed their clingy leaves in time for Christmas. With a promise of chilly winter that lasts till February, I was partly relieved that there wouldn’t be any unpleasant spider encounters too until then.
Getting me completely wrong, on December 31st, I spotted Three of them at different spots busying about their webs. A week later, Daffodil stems had shot up with little buds looking ahead for an early adventure. The tortoise who was meant to hibernate peeked out of his shell at the nearby lake!
My weather guys were utterly confused as we had a perfectly sunny warm day in the midst of winter. They don’t seem to understand climate change like we do.
Well, looking ahead to an early Spring that has sprung in the midst of ‘winter’!
