The Master of Ceremonies doesn't really do daytime. Or the outdoors. Not even at the end of the universe.

But tonight he's sitting on the back porch stairs in the wee hours after midnight, wrapped in his leather coat, smoking a fragrant herbal cigarette and watching the cherry blossom petals drift and swirl like snowflakes in the starlight.

Cherry blossoms falling

[yinyangwizard]

The blossoms on the cherry trees are increasingly being displaced by leaves. The green is noticeable even from a distance. The ground beneath and around the trees is carpeted with fallen petals occasionally stirred by the wind.

Outside, afternoon

Ragnar is working on his motorcycle near the forge. He is doing something he never did before, and looking up how to do it in a how-to book, so on account of not being all that good at reading, either, Ragnar is going very slowly.

The whole process is hindered even more by the falling pink petals on the light spring breeze -- they are in Ragnar's beard, on his bike, on his book, and on the tattoos that adorn the shorn sides of his head. He keeps trying to brush them away from his eyes while reading the repair manual.

But he's getting there.

It's springtime, which means that summer's coming, which means that there are things to grow! Ten-year-old Rae Seddon has spent this afternoon clearing the asparagus beds of weeds, and watering the asparagus plants. She's not sure what else one does to take care of asparagus - Autor would know - but she's pretty sure that weeding and watering are all-around good things to do for one's garden.

Later, her knees and hands still a bit dirty from her earlier efforts, she's sitting at the roots of one of the lovely cherry trees, enjoying the shade and the gentle fall of pink petals around her as she looks through a seed catalog and tries to figure out what she might want to grow this year (in case of another summer fair).

There are so many kinds of plants to choose from!
