Birds chirping awakened me this morning! It's warm enough to sleep with the window slightly open and there was our first sign of spring. When we lived in Vermont the first sign of spring was when the brook outside our bedroom began to thaw. Sure enough the sound of rushing water would awaken me to the first sign of spring. What a gift that was after our long, cold, dark winter!
And then as I stood at the sink making my morning coffee I noticed the buds on the flowering plum tree outside that window. Another welcome gift though winters here in Nevada are sunny and gentle.
This world truly is amazing---the east coast is having a "polar vortex" of snow, wind and sub zero temps. And here in the west we have record breaking warmth. Truly the vastness of this country is stunning.
Do I remember to thank God for the little things (really not so little)--for birds and buds and thawing streams? Do you?
Blessings-Penny
