Delicate crocus and Daffodils

Hardy Pug braving the raindrops !

Hurrah for Spring !

First day to mow the lawn, get out and clean up the garden and take in all the beautiful daffodils, crocus, tulips and budding trees. It’s so wonderful to reconnect with nature. All the frogs in the ponds are awake and tentatively sing to each other. In a few weeks ear plugs at night . . . their badass bass goes on all night ;)

Pugs love the warm days, chasing away any birds daring to swoop into their territory. Heard a few quail out in the mass of blackberry bushes. The pair of Canadian geese have arrived six houses down ready to start a new nest and hatch little fuzzy goslings in the stream which runs between houses.

This is the time of year I have to begin to balance writing with the siren call to get outside. All winter long I can hunker down and either read research stuff or write without feeling guilty. Spring demands attention. Writing demands attention. So I try balancing . . . like walking with a glass of water on my head. Slowy, slowly. Get the hours of the day into a schedule I feel happy with. Spills not allowed :}

Spring, lovely spring!!!!
