With it 26.4 this morning
April came in with a warning!
Winter is still hanging round
Driving the warm air out of town
And, tomorrow a monster coastal storm
Is forecast to slide by to the east
And, while a soaking rain has been the norm
Looks like here, we'll miss that beast
Later this week we'll be back to spring
But, we all know, that's the thing
It is a fickle time of year
Where we're going is not quite clear
A battle rages 'tween air from north & south
That leaves a bad taste in my mouth
(and not from being sick all last week)
I'll take the Fall over Spring
With the joy a warm day does bring
While in spring you assume winter's past
And, then the warmth, just won't last
Then you think, spring is here, no, summer
From winter chill to cooking hot, bummer.
Yet, I'm not ready to move to Florida...
Big day in Earthquake land
Lots of quakes in the Sea of Andaman
31 quakes from 4.5 to 5.5
Seismic or new volcano come alive?
Now a 6.0 quake north of Mauritius Isles
The Indian Ocean showing some wilds
Shakes in Greece, Turkey and big in Iraq
It's a wild, shaking planet, watch it rock
But, lovely too with morning sky show
Waning crescent with Venus left and below
Saturn well above and Jupiter way right
All three planet are plenty bright
In the evening Aldebaran and Mars
Still hanging with other winter stars
Aldebaran, red like Mars, now twice as bright
We'll see if the clouds allow us that sight
While at my bird feeders the frenzy rolls on
How long before two more tubes are gone?
Purple finches flock, several dozen
Swarm and tweet, the air a'buzzin!
Springtime, they got kids to feed
Happy to supply them with their needs
How about you, get out, take Earth in
Squirrel just thought he'd slide on in
Big brown dog, didn't let him win
Time for us to go walk again
Get out, enjoy, Today on Earth.
