Nameless Blue Flowers

3:30 pm: Race to room from work after moaning all day long about the unfairness of indoor classes
3:45 Arrive at barn, having changed and biked up George Hill, past the purple crocuses in the Quill's yard, way too hot with a light sweatshirt and a T-shirt.
4:00 Finish cleaning Grayson's stall, then traipse the mudball himself through the barn and park him in the driveway to be brushed.
4:10 Depart for Thayer Garden
4:12 Stop to listen to a chorus of Spring Peepers
4:13 Pause for an insistent Phoebe
4:30 Wade across the edge of a beaver pond--where the trail used to be--Woodfrogs join the party.
4:45 Enter Thayer Garden
4:45 Gasp at the ground blue with little flowers--for me?  Thank you, Father
5:00 Still amongst His extravagance--always
10:00am What are these flowers called?

I also have been enjoying the advent of spring... but I can't write about it like you do... I need a graph or equation to convey complicated ideas or information.
