Ferguson: Spring Gone Missing


Bringing Spring home. Ferguson, Missouri. April 2018.


Oh, where is Spring?

It snowed on Easter.

 Unacceptable.

I had to take matters into my own hands.

On Monday, I picked up a bouquet of Spring from the local grocer. I put it next to the long-ago deflowered paper whites from official winter, which I clip every once in awhile to create the illusion of Spring to come.

 No, no, no, no. I am finished with winters in cold lands.

I am already planning my next annual home. It will be a warm and sunny place.

In the meantime, these yellow and red-cheeked tulips sustain my spirit.
