This past week marked the start of spring. I am thrilled! I absolutely love spring. The trees are starting to blossom, green is starting to show in the yard, temperatures are rising, and there is MORE DAYLIGHT. As someone who must have plant DNA, I live for light. It fuels me like nothing else can. After the short winter days where I tend to retreat like a turtle, nothing stirs me to action like a sunny day. I want to be more active and get more things done. My creative brain wakes up and imagines words, colors, and possibilities. Of course, spring in this area can bring more snow and send us all back inside. But my friend, the sun, will quickly melt it away and invite us out again. Spring snow never lasts for long. I hope everyone feels the joy of a few more hours of sunlight and feels the same awakening to possibilities as I do.

weather weighing down
want to keep it together
maybe by summer

searching for the light
following one who always
finds joy in the day

directing traffic
perched above, out of the way
many eyes watching

look closely above
against the lovely blue sky
new buds opening

somebody’s lost toy
becomes a hidden treasure
brings joy to my friend
