Once again we in Ohio embrace the vernal equinox. This spring is the earliest since 1896. March 20th rolled in with some chilly 35 degree weather-which compared to last spring is a mild dream. Despite the chilly temperatures signs of new life are appearing everywhere. The winds of March are carrying the fresh scent of the slowly thawing earth accompanied by the lyrical songs of birds-which seem to be everywhere right now. They have come home, making their long journey back up North, they are constructing their nests and getting ready to lay eggs. Leaves are slowly emerging from their branches and are uncurling bringing little touches of color to the once brown landscape. It always amazes me how almost overnight the grays and browns start to be overtaken by the bright greens of lawns. The spring flowers give us a teasing glimpse of months of beautiful colors and days of warm sunlight.
The longer days and warmer temperatures allow more activities outdoors with our little Grandson. I love these times, and imagination makes our little adventures boundless. I am taking advantage of these days now. Next year school will start and with that many changes-next spring the sandbox will no longer be a land of dinosaurs and villages. A walk with the dog will be filled with different conversations. So I am breathing all this in and saving it in a special spot in my heart.
