In the fall, Maria saw an old no-hunting post sign, it had been abandoned, obviously years ago, it was one of the old ones, before the bright yellow plastic. She painted some green leaves on it – they were the shadows of the leaves growing in front of it, and then it was buried in the snow since early January. Today it popped out. Spring must be here. It was in the 40’s today, the snow is melting the pasture is a giant puddle. Much more to come.

I love Maria’s posted sign, it looks quite at home with it’s new face.
