Today, the chickadees are singing, flitting from branch to snow covered branch - one of my very favorite sounds. Springtime is just around the corner, waiting to burst forth in a glory of warm earth and new life. My flower garden is sleeping under a heavy blanket of snow, but soon, what was once a cold, dead plot of earth will be bursting with life and color. There will be new calves down in the valley. Is there anything more adorable than a newborn calf? I think not. And lambs, ducklings, wild songbird nestlings.
And best of all, that warm, green smell of the world awakening from it's long, cold sleep - ready to paint the countryside with vibrant color and miraculous life.
I'm thankful for the seasons - each one filled with a wonder all it's own.

I don't have a real blog to link up to but today I made this observation of gratitude I wanted to share. We have been in a serious drought the past year and lately, it has been above average temps and dry. Yesterday, however, with quite blustery winds, a front pushed down and gave us a serious rain! Today, the sky is a cloudless azure blue, the temperatures are cool with a slight breeze, and the earth responded with a HUGE thanks with azalea bushes blooming and trees showing off their new tiny spring green leaves! I just took a walk and it was glorious! My oh my what a blessing rain is for all living things!
