Vernal Equinox 2009

...I thought it'd never come!
Although I had know idea what that specific term 
meant until this morning.  *embarrassed* 
(or perhaps I just forgot, sorry mom)

First day of SPRING!  
The days become longer than the nights, 
the temperatures warmer than that of my freezer, 
and more reminders of new life than before!!







The above picture of the Chickadee is especially special to me.  
My Grandma Reed always used to sit 
with me on the swing in her driveway, overlooking the 
tree-filled backyard.  As we sat together swinging, 
she'd say, "Listen.  Do you here her?
 She's singing *Springs Here.*"  
We'd whistle back 'springs here' to her 
songfully, in happy agreeance as we searched 
for our hope-of-spring filled feathered friend.

Ah, the memories and promises of spring.  *sigh*
