Backyard Potterer's diary. March

Quantum mechanics teach us that in the world of very small things the uncertainty principle reigns. It means that if you determine the position of the tiny particle very precisely then you cannot measure its velocity precisely. The same thing goes for energy and time. Does the uncertainty principle hold in the yard too? Of course. If you stop to stare at where the woodpecker sits you will miss how fast time flies.
 
Sounds come from the sky but there is no one to see. The clouds have descended  on the yard and the gulls are no longer visible from here, their shapes have no business here anyway.
 
The Potterer reads that tomorrow is open door day at the university. Is then any other day a closed doors day? Where will the students go on those 364 days? The yard is a strange thing. It never has an open doors day. And so no closed doors day either. What is the door to the yard? The senses are the door to the yard. Eye and ear, nose and skin, and mouth too.
 
The early spring snow pretends that its business is serious and unending.  It falls, widely and vigorously. You trust it and at once rain is there.
 
The squirrel was made for eating nuts. The nut is made for feeding squirrels. It is a tough nut that needs nutcrackers.
