Describing a Spring Day

I have no words to describe how beautiful today was.

That is a lie. I have lots of words; some of which I did not make up five minutes ago. The sun shone with the intense brilliance it achieves on days in Colorado the day after snow falls from a dreary sky the color of forgotten lies. So after playing drug delivery boy for a friend with a cold I spent quite a bit of time outside digging, pruning, and throwing away trash. I should have worn a hat.

It has been the sort of day when buds are breaking upon lilac bushes and apple trees. If, for some reson, you cut into a unwelcome maple tree sucker in the corner of your yard later you will notice watery sap flowing like the leaking of a radioactive storage barrel. I deny that I would have any sort of experience with this, but even ordinary silver maple sap is quite tasty.

Tomorrow the prediction is for cold and staying in, but today was beautiful.
