I actually had flowers starting to bloom (and that's rather rare in central Alberta at this time of year). However, as I type this we are under a blizzard watch, and are expecting 20-25cm (8-10 inches) of snow overnight. The temp is hovering around 21F with winds making it feel like 9F. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caab0008/ So much for getting any sleep, as someone has to be out on cattle check --- it is calving season, and those little guys don't last long in conditions like this. Spring...it was just teasing us. Last Sunday I would have been more in agreement with you (it was around 70F).

I saw this for the first time yesterday and could not believe my eyes . I feed the birds year round but never saw the males feed the females. He brought her a big juicy worm and gave it to her not over 10 feet from me and was not the least bit afraid of me . I have seen lots of cardinals feed their babies, now I wonder if sometimes what I saw was them feed their wife too ? I do love to watch the birds .

Really, it might take me until my toddlers are teenagers, but I'm thinking what you have is very good and earthy. Pies and bread and rivers and trees. If I survive single motherhood and three toddlers, I'm so there. I own some supposedly swampy land (about 10 acres) out in Virginia, maybe I should check it out.... Um, how can I be you?

My Spring is the smell of freshly cut grass and apricot and cherry blossoms. The wonder of seagulls everywhere looking for their 'dinner' as fields are plowed stirring up their delicious worms. My Spring is the expectation of my pink tulips almost budding out and hoping we don't get an East wind that will pluck the heads right off. We usually do get the wind or snow that flattens the tulips. Every year I say next year I will plant daffodills that bloom early and then I won't have to worry over the tulips. And every year I feel optomistic and leave the tulips in. So, Spring is worrying. It is also planting peas and carrots and radishes with the excitement that the harsh Winter is over and warmth is just a breath away. Ups and downs...warm and cold...wind and rain...but best of all the feeling of the warm sun on my skin as I can sit outside and enjoy the blessings of nature.

(And swear it's my favorite season till we get to Autumn.) My very favorite "I now know it is Spring and I'm so very thrilled!"? Spring Peepers. My children and I, to this day, still record the first day we can hear them. Such a lovely sound. What else? Early Springtime lowers, leaves waiting to burst forth, forsythia, papa cardinals feeding their mama cardinals...the list is endless. Thank you, Suzanne! abb I love just about everything Spring.

We have forsythia blooming - I so wish it would last longer. Oh and two onions have sprouted lol. Have you read The New Earth? because it sounds like you really, really have experienced it. I'm still struggling. The tree is gorgeous. We have forsythia blooming – I so wish it would last longer. Oh and two onions have sprouted lol.
