Birdsong

A glimpse of spring today was. The snow has melted temporarily, revealing the green grass that has been well-insulated from the bitter cold. Snow will come tomorrow. But my focus is on today. A glorious day indeed! Warm, southeasterly winds. A gloriously grey day.

And in that greyness was the promising sound of birdsong.

Letting the world know that there is hope. The dark and dreary days of winter will pass. The cardinals were singing their sweet songs, reminding me of springtime of my childhood. The robins were calling, not singing yet, but promising. Another springy reminder! And I breathed it all in, knowing that these days are coming.
