I step outside and a fresh breeze kisses my cheek.
The sun hovers just above the dewy horizon.
I inhale deeply and smell hope; I sense an awakening.
Just above my head a chickadee chirps his uplifting song.
He sounds as excited as my heart feels.
I gaze at the open field beside my home.
Hints of chartreuse tinge the new grasses poking through the moist soil.
That lime-green hue that whispers SPRING
I thought it would never come this year….even the crocuses have taken too long to announce it’s arrival!
A myriad of feathered friends join the chickadee to announce that it is true……
Spring is here to soothe our aching souls….
It was a long cold winter
I Smile; MY heart Hums in time to the violins I hear in the trees.
