Harbinger of Spring

Well, March is finally here, and, even though we can still expect some blustery weather,  it gives one a good, warm feeling to know that very soon spring will be here.  Believe it or not, my husband was taking his daily walk a couple of weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised to see 30 - 40 robins.   Living in northeast Ohio, that's pretty early to see robins.  There are still some bushes with lots of red berries that they seem to enjoy.  It's for sure, there wouldn't be many worms for them just yet.    It was just about that time that I did the robin above with my digital computer program. Thought I would share it with you. 

Now, we're watching for more signs of spring - that is, besides the potholes in the roads!!!   We're getting more rain than snow now, so the grass is greening in places, and, of course, the Canada geese have honked their way back to the neighbors' ponds. 



                                                                       Signs of Spring



Singing birds arriving each day,

Icicles melting, snow going away,

Girgling streams, flowing swiftly along,

Nimble bunnies waking renewed and strong.

Showers and thunder wake us at night,

Out of the ground, bulbs pop into sight,

Frosty days, just every now and then,

Such a reminder of the winter that's been!

Priceless is each day we live,

Regardless, complaints we give,

It seems we wish our days away,

Naturally,  wishing for a sunnier day.

Great is each day, God has given us,

LET  US THANKFUL BE!!!
