I'm A Gonna Sing !

I woke up this morning at 6 am!!  
Wide awake!
I'm never wide awake at 6 am. 

I am NOT a morning person!
In my humble opinion, mornings should
NOT begin before 10 am!

More amazing though, I awoke with a song. 
Over and over the words were playing in my mind. 
I could not get rid of them. 

I grabbed my laptop and found the song
What a surprise!!

Honk Honk!

This morning on the way to work, I saw a flock of geese.

They were the most disorganized, bunched-up, pathetic looking flock of geese I've ever seen. 

Flocks of geese have been flying north for a couple weeks now.  

I love to listen to their honking as they fly overhead. 
You can hear them long before you can see them.  
It seems rather soothing to me.

Wonder why they make all that noise ?

Seems like it would take up too much energy to honk while flapping their wings?  

Heaven knows I can't even walk fast and talk at the same time. 
I'm too busy gasping for breath.

Hope Springs Eternal

The day the Lord created HOPE was probably the same day he created SPRING. ~ Bern Williams

 "If we had no winter,

the spring would not be so pleasant;

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,

prosperity would not be so welcome"

Anne Bradstreet

No winter lasts forever;  ~  Hal Borland

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways.

The dry seasons in life do not last.

The spring rains will come again. 

Sarah Ban Breathnach

What a difference 10 days make!

10 days ago it was wind chill of  15 degrees below zero

Yesterday it was a heat index of  70 degrees above zero.

What's up with that???

Oh - it's a reminder that Spring is coming, whether it looks like it TODAY or not.

A few nice days to give us hope;

Saying - "Hang in there

Winter won't last forever" 

The robins are back! 

They arrived a week ago to find lawns & fields
covered in snow.

They sang anyway. 

Did you hear that?

THEY SANG ANYWAY!

I love their song.

In fact, this morning I woke up to a robin singing. 

Ahhhhh!  Spring is almost here. 

I just wanted to stay in bed and listen. 

 

Spring is Coming !! ?? . . listening for the right voice.

Are we listening to the right voice?

I thought Spring was coming!  

Well . . that is what the groundhog said!  Didn't he? 

At least Punxsutawney Phil came out of his hole,

whispered his groundhogese in the ear of the
President of the Inner Circle - saying so.

The President of the Inner Circle said that's what he said.
But . . . . how would we know?   He could have said anything. 

It's been about a week since Phil's prophetic declaration.

Here I sit, wrapped up in a blanket

Snow is falling

Wind is blowing

Roads are drifting

Temperatures are dropping
