Sweet Melody

Yesterday, while I was walking through the kitchen, I heard this little guy singing. I went to get my camera, and he was still there, so I got a picture.

I didn't really like the shot through the screen and through the blinds, but I knew that if I pulled them, the bird would move.

I waited patiently and he flew away. I quickly pulled all of the blinds and waited for him to come back. He obliged, and perched on a branch in the tree in the front yard, and then he posed quite nicely so I could get a picture.

Spring is on its way, and I am ready and waiting. I love the new life that spring brings. I love the sounds of birds and children outside. I love all the colors that appear. I love that I can hang sheets out on the clothes line (I washed ours two weeks ago and hung them out - they smelled wonderful for three days). I love the longer daylight hours. I love bare feet, flip flops, and sandals outside. I love children in shorts and being able to see bruised and scraped knees. I love grass stains.

I LOVE SPRING!

I love the birds other states have...sure miss seeing the cardinals in Nashville. I too love spring and was sadly disappointed to wake up to a fresh blanket of snow this morning :(

Thanks, and Vanessa, I will take the blame, especially if we can enjoy days like these!
