Beyond the Calendar

According to the calendar, today is the first day of Spring. Years ago I learned not to depend on dates to announce the change of seasons. For examole, today I don't believe that the folks west of me who are still dealing with snow in one form or another can accept that Spring is here.

This First Day of Spring in Louisville has announced the change of seasons well beyond the date on the calendar. Outside my window I can hear birds chirping and the voices of children playing, watch squirrels scampering around,  and enjoy the colors of newly bloomed flowers...

The daffodils along the fenceline in my back yard are in full bloom:



Alex and I spent the afternoon out on our deck:


Unfortunately, my old bed is still on the deck and blocks much of my view of the back yard:


Alex tried to push the old bed aside to improve my view, but it was too heavy for my little fellow:


In the late afternoon, we went out on the front porch, where Alex had fun and got a bit of exercise chasing his birdie-on-a-string:


Alex and I had a delightful First Day of Spring. We hope that you did, too.
