Spring has sprung!

Well it's definitely feeling like spring. The sun is beating down through our windows. All sorts of migratory birds are back. We've recently spotted red-wing black birds, robins and turkey vultures - so cool! Flowers are starting to come up in the yard like the lovely snow drops that I look at every day.

With everything seeming to awaken, it's no wonder that the animals are starting to get very restless. They all seem to know that sooner than later they will be able to enjoy the sun on their skin/fur/scales and maybe eat a little fresh grass. They just cannot contain their excitement. It seems that even when given the run of the main level, they all seem to hop/stomp over to the porch door and stare longingly into the back garden.

I really don't blame them. With the sun beaming so nicely into the house, we've made our way into some local parks for a brief walk before starting our day a few time in the past few weeks. It's so nice to be able to connect with nature even for just a moment in this very concrete and steel city that we live in. I love discovering all of the neat things that happen each and every day in nature that just go unnoticed by most people walking by.

Just a few more weeks, I'm guessing, and then the animals will have a chance to walk about outside again. Right now it's still a wee bit too cold for them and their health is the most important thing to us. Until then, I'll have to make sure to keep that back window crystal clear just for them.

ttfn.
