Suddenly There Are Leaves


     I was surprised when I walked around the pond this morning.  When I was at the far end and looked back toward the house, I could see huge swatches of green.  It seemed like overnight, the trees grew leaves.  It happened so quickly.

    There is an old farmer’s saying that when the Aspen leaves are as big as a mouses ear, it is time to plant your garden.  Most of the green you see in the photo are leaves of Aspen trees, so I guess it’s time for gardening.  The saying inspired the cartoon below.
