Spring Has Arrived

The storms have been powerful and the lightning energizes the earth. The chorus frogs sing their songs of love and a green glow shimmers through the woods after the heavy rains. The air is clean and fresh. The grass is thick and speckled with yellow dandelions…delicious treats for my son’s tortoises.

The birds and other creatures in our backyard are twitterpated and searching for their mate. Pairs of wood ducks and Canadian geese alternate time at our pond. The bluebirds and tree swallows have returned to their nesting boxes.

Lists begin of what wild perennials we want to plant, the cleaning that needs to be done, and what outdoor repairs and updos should be completed this year. 

The lawn furniture is chomping at the bit to be set out on the porch, or maybe that is just me. I cannot wait to share the mornings and evenings outside with D and to feel the very welcomed sunshine on my skin. 

Spring is like a long lost family member who has finally come home. And I celebrate her arrival.
