We have had some amazing weather these past few days. Temperatures reached 28C (82F) on this particular day. Not to shabby for April.
Spring is like a perhaps
hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving new and
old things, while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there) and
without breaking anything.

The Bluest Skies... The Greenest of greens... This watershed in the Oregon Springs burned in the schoolhouse fire ten- twelve years ago... Today it is shouting with joy...and so am I. When there is so much emphasis on drought and dismal water conditions... Timber and I wanted to show folks just how beautiful and upbeat a ride in the Blues of Washington can be... The Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness is alive well...

Looking forward to spring, when the green will become the thing again. Fresh and full, not warm, not cold, you can almost hear the forest growing. And birds will sing again. I'm really looking forward to this music...

Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))
Every Spring I post some variant of the weeping cherries in Ault Park. The rites of Spring are probably as old us human civilization, and after this winter, I can imagine why. Living through last winter without Central heating and double glazing is hard to imagine, and many still do so even today. But the relief of warmth and color spreading through the landscape must have been immense. Whether it was Pagan fertility rites, the celebration of the Spring Soltice by the Druids, or the Christian Easter, humans have celebrated Spring for as long as records go back. I suspect we'll keep doing so in some form or another for a very long time :-)

The name 'Amersfoort' derives from 'foort' or 'voorde' (cf. English 'ford') and 'Amer' (i.e. the Eem river, or water in general).
Thanks to it favourable location, both on the water router (over the Eem river to the Zuiderzee) and land route (from Utrecht Eastward and Northward) the agricultural settlement developed into a small town, which in 1259 was granted city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht.
The city had two centres: het Havik, first mentioned in 1390,(which could come from "bend in a river" or "habour area") and de Hof (the Court and first mentioned in 1462). Het Havik was the city's port and its business centre. De Hof, prior to the granting of city rights, was the location of the residence of the Bishop's representatives and the city church, the St. Joriskerk (the Church of St. George). In 1132 there is a chapel mentioned, which later would become the St. Joriskerk (1243 the built was started and in 1534 it would become the church that it is now).
The whole city was walled, orginally by an earthen wall, later by a stone wall. Some remains can still be seen. For instance, in the Langestraat (Lit.: the Longstreet) we find the remains of the Kamperbinnenpoort (The Innergate to Kampen, a city in the nothern part of Holland) and on the Muurhuizen (wallhouses) we see the remains of the Plompetoren, also know as the Dieventoren (lit: Thieves Tower, refering to the city jail located here [first mentioned as a prison in 1434] in the 19th century, last used in 1862).

Work update:
New Jersey has instituted a "stay at home" order for all non-essential businesses. Our practice is now open for sick pets only. We are still doing things like filling prescriptions, doing lab work, doing non-routine surgeries... Because George and I are several (to many) decades older than my coworkers, I made the tough decision to stay home this week. I am proud of my practice and of my co-workers who are still showing up for work every day. Because of them, if one of my cats gets sick, I know where to go.
So yesterday, with my free time, I took a walk in a large park right across the street. This is a very strange time. Things are starting to look beautiful and to come alive. And I'm able to enjoy it because of COVID-19.
