I’m beginning to wonder what the natural cycles of the world are going to deliver this year. I’m starting to think that this is going to be the Year of the Lizard. They are everywhere. It seems in the past you might see one occasionally, but now they just keep popping up everywhere. And they are fast little boogers.
A couple of years ago we had the Year of the Cicadas. I think that the explanation was that we had two of the different cycles of different varieties that coincided and so we had this constant barrage of noise coming from all directions. It was rather awesome. It never got to me. Perhaps if it had gone on longer it would happen, but it was an interesting phenomenon.
A few years more back, we had the Year of the Inchworm. They seem to be hanging from every tree and getting on the garage door so that we had almost a quilt of inch worms and their droppings. That was irritating. They were sticky and juicy and omnipresent.
Some years we have a cascade of wildflowers. We have some every year, but there are occasional years where they just seem to cover everything and be blooming steadily for months.
Anyway, you look at it’s going to be a good year.
