Signs of the season

I hear the mourning doves today as I sit in my writing room.

The finches have gone silent for a while but are usually saying something. Their nest is close to my window here. I hope that noisy crow I heard last night didn't scare them away.

The sparrows are at it again, checking out their house on my upstairs deck, making it ready and livable.

Robins are building a nest at Lola's place down the road.

Spring is coming. Hooray!

Soon we'll be grumbling about our allergies: grasses and pollens in the air making for itchy eyes, sneezing, and all the rest. But Spring is what we've been wanting all winter.

So. Live with it.
