As I write this, the sun is just beginning to rise and already I can hear the birds busy in conversation outside. {I wonder what makes birds wake up and begin chatting?}
Last night, I went for a walk. It was still a bit cool, but I felt that I needed to get some fresh air and sunshine. I had to keep my jacket zipped, but the cool air felt so good against my face.

ReplyDeleteYou describe the best parts of this time of year-- getting outside for walks and noticing the green colors around us!! Phew, we made it through winter :)
