Spring Debut & Thank You

Hello everyone, At long last I'm finally posting for the first time! I've been encouraged, cajoled, tutored, and baby-stepped by good friends to get me to this point, and I'm happy to be finally going forward with the plan! Thank you for your help--you know who you are. I saw this poem on a piece of art and jotted it down for future inspiration

First a howling blizzard woke us,

Then the rain came down to soak us,

And now before the eye can focus - crocus!

-Lilja Rogers

However, I have to admit, here in E. Idaho I think we're still stuck on the "howling blizzard" first line. I awoke to two inches of snow earlier this week. It all melted before noon, but still, it was a major psychological spring set-back! I decided that no matter what the weather, at my house I'm pretending we're at the "crocus" part of the the poem.

Can you tell I like birds?

And.....REAL GREEN GRASS (and one dead bug)

There's hope after all.
