spring...

sure signs of spring. birds at the feeder. waking to their morning songs. sun rising before we do. melting. dripping. little rivers cutting through the snow. these happen every year to signify the changing days.

but this year there is a new "sign" for spring. avery's first baby sign:

bird!

just today. in his high-chair, pointing, then putting his thumb and pointer finger together. chirp, chirp, chirp. that's right avery. bird!

what signs do you see that spring is on the horizon?

mud in the backyard - everywhere. being able to crack the thin ice on the sidewalks in the morning. seeing blue skies and thinking about BBQing.

spring is (almost) here!

actually BBQing, an optimistic attitude, the ground softening under my feet, and thelma isn't wearing any clothes.

yesterday, walking the slush-riveted road, noticed the first alder buds of the season. what contrast! another sign: the early morning coyotes cackling across the valley.
miss you, girl.
