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.
