P24 Spring Blossoms

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem.

I’m having trouble keeping up with pictures for this year because my walks with the dog are usually on the grassy hills west of town. So I’ve been searching through my Photo Library. I snapped this picture two years ago on April 2nd. Perhaps I’ll take Guthrie there tomorrow to see if the lovely daffodils are blooming there now.

Those rock walls were built in the 1930s by the Civil Conservation Corps during the construction of Grand Coulee Dam. Coulee Dam was “engineer’s town,” and owned/managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. The CCCs developed most of the landscape on the west side of Coulee Dam, where I live.

Coulee Dam was a government-owned town until 1957-1959, when the process of selling the town back to the public was complete. [Wikipedia, Coulee Dam and my post Japanese Barberry]

So I live in a quaint little town. And so a poem…

Poetry

Spring Blossoms

Quaint small town sidewalk
lined with daffodils against
rock walls; spring arrives.
