The day is still....there is no wind....the air is carried with voices of children at play under the afternoon sunshine....crows cackle....and Winslow Homer is in hot pursuit of two squirrels chasing one another off into the wood. The chickens bathe in the warm earth and bluebirds twitter back and forth building their nest for a future brood.....It is a day of firsts....first Jonquil picked from the flower bed....
and tulips too....
the grass is slowly turning from brown to green as the last bit of snow melts into the earth....a pair of Mallard ducks swim in a temporary pond alongside the driveway and a formation of Canadian geese fly overhead traveling to their summer destination....laundry flaps in the warm breeze....these are the days we have been longing for....Spring has arrived....how wonderful it feels to sit in the warmth of the sun and read a few pages from a new favorite book....
slowly nature is awaking....peepers serenade us with their evening song....and Winslow Homer....well he has incurred a first for the season too....
need I say more....
well....maybe that he is proving all his doctors wrong....I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and toes!
