Kickass and spring of 2025

Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper and Phyllis issuing the following executive order: All Wisconsin residents and visitors shall, within the next few days, immerse themselves in the birthing of the summer of 2025.

It is a magnificent thing: trees in colorful new-leaf prom formals, marshes alive with blackbird kingdoms, lakes and rivers full of waterfowl dating, wildflowers laying exquisite brief carpeting for millions of wild weddings to come.

On a drive to the central part of the state, the keeper and Phyllis were overwhelmed at their privilege in witnessing such a natural extravaganza; and then in even being part of it in a way—perhaps like a couple of aging turtles crawling up onto a log for a little of that wonderful 2025 spring sunshine.
