every year…at this time of year
i don’t typically buy grocery store flowers because i prefer to gather seasonal flowers, stems, and branches on my walks. but, just like clockwork, every year–at this time of year–i find myself reaching for a handful of colorful, life affirming, living flowers at the store. it’s just enough to get me through these cold and windy late-march days. the migrating birds are already returning (we had sandhill cranes today!). and the birds know far more than i do. i am trusting the birds.

You are fortunate to have returning birds. We are, so far in extremely dry NM, are having “silent spring “. Only one half hearted attempt by a pair of house finches to build a nest. We don’t wake to a joyful chorus
Oh Carol! That breaks my heart to hear.
