Almost warm enough to stay outside for ten minutes :D
Catkins jewelry
March is a transitional event;
ushering in wind, snow, rain, sunshine, flowers, birds, frogs, and personal
progress.
I especially love hearing the first wild
arias the frogs throw out at night. Hibernation is over and warm weather is a
comin’! Song birds are returning. A few brave robins have arrived, the
neighborhood geese are here and the little red feathered house wren is flitting
in and out of the rhododendruns. My favorite herald is the mocking bird singing
his heart out, establishing his territory.
Bulbs are opening and soft catkins
hang from branches like organic jewelry. Wonder of wonders, I found a lady bug
inside the house. The Pugs alerted me to her slow progress along the wall and I
scooped up the happy colored little gem, and let her go outside.
My mobility is increasing
significantly thanks to my PT therapist who refuses to give up on the unfortunate
circumstances related to my total knee replacement surgery. I am able to
navigate stairs if I go slow. Turtle slow. One of my male characters would say.
“Boo Yah!” I do love progress :D
Writing is also moving along. Almost
across the finish line of the first revision; a line which keeps expanding in
front of me --------- because I have to insert bridge scenes. Oh lordy, I
forgot I had so many. LOL.
