Nature keeps sending signs: the snake racing the curve ahead of my bike, the redwing flushed suddenly to defend its nest, a huge pine cone resting like a fertile goddess on the sidewalk, waiting the lift from wind or human that will kick it into fertile soil.
It will be like this until Fall closes the door. Fertile days in the Northern Hemisphere!
