That Robin

Along with many others, I've been experiencing some "winter blues" and general crabbiness at the recent cold, wet, windy weather we've been having. February is a yucky month that is usually still like winter. Now that it's March I can feel the hope of Spring around the corner. I've been enjoying the mornings that are sunny, and have even had a few days that I had to put my sunglasses on while I'm driving to/from work. I went to the mailbox when I got home last week and spotted some very determined daffodils working their way up, and some equally ambition tulips along the sidewalk flower beds. Hope began to stir! Then of course the stores are filling up with St. Patrick's Day green and Easter bunnies. But it was this weekend while driving here and there that I saw that true sign of Spring...that robin! As we made another trip to Lowe's this afternoon (that's another blog entry) it seemed like I saw that robin everywhere I looked. And I guess that's the point. That hope I was needing, would have been there sooner perhaps if I had just taken the time to look for it. As soon as I was open to looking for it, I saw it everywhere.
