Soft Day

The roar is way off in the distance today and the soft gentle sounds of spring are filling the air in my corner of the world this morning. How wonderful to hear them again. The sunshine came streaming in the window early, early, early, and brought along with it the sounds of Robins frolicking in the back yard searching for their breakfast. I got up and went in search of my breakfast too. I made coffee and took my steaming mug full of the fragrant brew over to an open window and drank in the sounds of the morning along with the delicious coffee. Mmmmmmm good!

We got out on our bikes yesterday and enjoyed a windy by wonderful 24k ride. As we road along the sunny trail it was hard to believe that we drove through such a blizzard just two days before. Oh well, such is spring in our little corner of the world.

The garden is starting to come to life and even show some colour. AC posted a great picture of the first crocus in the back yard on his blog here. The tulips and daffodils are coming up and will soon be in bloom too. It amazes me each year that so much life and beauty can come up through all that dark cold ground after such a long dark winter.

If you don’t have a spring garden about to burst into life where you are, go out and buy yourself a little pot of spring bulbs and put them in a sunny spot of your home to bring the beauty and the wonder of the garden to you.

If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a hyacinth to feed your soul.

Well, I must run now, company is coming for dinner tonight, so I am off to purchase fresh bread and salad fixin’s while AC whips up a feast in the kitchen. Oh yes, I will buy a hyacinth too.

If you can, get out for a walk today, or take time to sit by an open window and enjoy this soft day full of the wonders of spring.

Talk to you tomorrow. Take care.
