Easter weekend

The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day.. Good Friday, and a very good Friday.

Things are still not as they should be: fences broken down, mud where there should be earth, puddles where there should be road; hoses delivering water out from flooded basements (I am so glad my home does not have a basement); trees late coming to leaf, daffodils late opening, forsythia only-just coming into bloom.

But it's all ready to burst wide open into spring.

A little, yellow bird is sitting in a tree in my back yard and singing its heart out. The red-winged blackbirds are scrapping and fighting. I hope a family of birds finds the little-house nesting box that I put up last week!
