View from the Driver's Seat

The biplanes seemed to have buzzed to closure - today was the first morning that I haven't seen them; yesterday, both were sighted.

I had to make way for a herd of deer this morning - I saw one going across the road two houses down from ours, and I slowed as a half dozen others walked slowly out in front of me. Two or three others stayed behind, eyeing me cautiously, and waited until I had passed before crossing. One can only hope that they looked both ways first.

The forsythia are in full bloom along my entire commute, but the ones in my yard - still just young twigs - aren't quite so obvious. Another day or two, and they should be a bit more so.

Saucer magnolias are getting ready to bloom. They seem to be quite a popular tree along Route 248. They're standouts at this time of year, up until their petals drop and carpet the area around them.

In a rather rare occurrence, I was not cut off a single time on the drive in. Not sure what to make of it, but I'm expecting the Road will play catch up on a future ride.

My mother was commenting on all the flowers in bloom down your way when she called me from Grandpa's house (in Lafayette Hill) the other night. When I was a kid, there was a vacant lot (now an artificial village, alas) down the road from Grandma and Grandpa's house that was walled with forsythia bushes. It was always a treat to see those bushes in bloom during Easter vacation.
