Green Dust
March 5, 2008
It’s early evening and the builders downstairs are slowing down, getting ready to call it a day. They’ve switched off the little boom box belting out a selection of tacky 90s songs from paint splattered speakers, and are wrapping whatever needs to be wrapped. The sun is still bright and the wind strong, as it has been for the last couple of days. The sound of it makes me think of some dry and desolate place, somewhere far away.
This morning I found a thick layer of fine green dust covering the coffee table, blown in by yesterday’s storm. So it seems we’ve skipped winter altogether this year. Pollen in the air and cherry blossoms in full bloom: spring is here…
San Diego experienced one of its coldest Winters. But Spring is coming very soon. Well it maybe just around the corner officially, but I see the flowers blooming and dormant plants starting to come to life.
This is a nice post of yours. So descriptive that I could imagine myself right there.

don’t you just love spring? ^^ especialy after a cold winter…in san diego, really?! i’ve been there, but in summer. so i can’t imagine. cool town, btw!
thanks^^. i keep thinking about that guest post, thought i’d ease myself back into writing mode first tho. soon come…
thanks once again for doing the guest post. i’m pretty certain you’re the first.
anyway, i did have the flu from monday to wednesday. now i’m all fine now. so, not so much writer’s block as just being out-of-commission. but i finally was able to do up an entry today.
no problem, i hope it went down with your readership, kind of…^^
yeah, these early spring flus are the worst. glad you’re feeling better. take it easy tho!
