"When the snow melted in the spring, doors burst open and the residents rushed outside, like prisoners released from jail."
from Get Happy The Life of Judy Garland

Unusual sighting

Today something very unusual happened. First I saw a lot of robins, about 8 or 10. Then they flew away and two blue jays came down. Then I saw the squirrel running all over and up into the trees. In my backyard I frequently see deer and sometimes rabbits but I rarely see squirrels. What a treat for me!

Spring

I am so ready for spring. Winter hasn't been that long, but I'm still tired of it. Easter is 41 days away. I love Easter eggs, daffodils, birds singing waking me up at 4:00 in the morning, milder temperatures, the excitement of new life. Part of me dies in the winter, and comes alive again in spring. My plan this year is to go for walks again in the park. I pray that my legs stop giving me problems and allow me to do that.
