Finally the true sign of spring has arrived--the robins! Now I know spring is truly here though we could still have some snowflakes, hopefully the calendar and the weather will be on the same page.
Tomorrow is the first day of spring officially so the robins have good timing. It is always fun to watch them hop their way around the yard searching for worms though this year the ground seems hard and dry now that the snow has melted.
Buds are beginning to show on the trees and the tulips are up about an inch or two so far. The geese too have been returning overhead, honking their chorus as they look for familiar territory. Their formations point north as they move across the sky.
The robins' big orange chests look puffy and proud as they check out trees for nesting locations. They add color to the otherwise gray and brown setting that is just waiting to pop with a palette of green.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV).
