wanting warmer weather

The first clutch of swallows have hatched and are on the wing! Swooping and swirling in tandem like feathered windup toys against the sky. I think swallows must be one of the happiest of birds.

And finally, my manuscript is about to take flight. I hope to finish polishing the entire 150K words by the end of the month. Make a final reading of it and send it off to my editor.

The garden is coming alive and if the weather will cooperate I will get the raised vegetable beds planted; but first I must set up the plastic fencing around them to keep the silly pugs out. Oh how they love to chase each other across the newly raked black earth leaving small doggie prints all across the surface.
