Mounting anticipation

GREENE CO., MO. — In about two weeks, I will be in Papua New Guinea. I’m studying my field guide every day and trying to imagine what a gerygone sounds like, what a treeswift looks like, whether I’ll see a frogmouth, and so many other things.

Meanwhile Shroud, who is in Longview until early June, tells me that the House Finches have returned to their forky abode and have laid four more eggs. Wow.

This tree frog hung out on our rhododendron all day.

    Just when you think it’s all over, new birth. Resurrection! Tree frogs! God put his thumbprint EVERYWHERE.
