One couple that has their cabin on the market, has enjoyed so very much, writing poetry. This mountain can sure be inspiring! Kathy Derengowski has sent her four seasons of poems our way. I’ve published three but just found this one about Spring in my ‘Drafts’ for the Mountain News. Thought some of you may enjoy reading Kathy’s poetry, as you sit around your fire tonight, anticipating our first dusting of snow this week!
Spring Comes to Palomar Mountain
When springtime comes to Palomar,
To chase away the gloom
The squirrels come out of hiding
The lilacs are in bloom
Winter has been banished
As things begin to grow
The earth begins to hum and throb
We’ve seen an end to snow.
The sun shines on the mountain
The streams flow swift again
Woodpeckers drum a rat-a-tat
A hammering refrain.
Wildflowers put their finest on
And make a grand debut
Doane’s pond is ripe for fishing
And sparkles just for you.
The sleeping seeds start sprouting
The slopes turn green, and then-
We see the promised Easter,
Our spring has come again !

What wonderfully descriptive poetry, evoking the actual feelings of Spring. This weekend at Palomar seemed almost like Spring weather, no evocation necessary!
