Well, its official!!! Spring is here!
I have seen 6 squirrels today for the first time in months! Bunnies happily grazing on my freshly cut grass in the backyard. We also watched a hawk on our patio and in our nearby avocado tree. Wondered if those squirrels with the fluffy tails were going to be the hawk's afternoon snack.
My Niece came by tonight with her senior picture and the announcement that she will attend Whitworth College in the Fall! We are very excited for her and look forward to hearing about her new adventures as a college freshman!!
Its so hard to believe how fast time goes by and how short these babies are with us, sleeping peacefully in their own beds. They all just seem so tiny, still, hardly ready to leave us for college.....to begin their pilgrimage to adulthood.....pave their own paths........spring forward into their own seasons...
The seasons keep moving on, moving forward no matter how much we wish they would linger for awhile longer.....they are constantly and consistently changing, one after the next, reminding us that we must move forward, with them........
I will miss winter..........the chill of the winter wind, the bite of the mornings and the gray afternoons....
But I unreluctantly embrace the spring........its creatures stirring in the new warmth of the spring sun.......the chartreuse color of my hydrangea buds under the windows.......the way the sunlight hits our beautiful mountains as it only does in the first weeks of spring.......
Welcome Spring............but could you pleeeeaaaassse bring us less squirrels????
