It's Spring!

By Mermaid Debbie

Spring is finally here! In the Inland Northwest spring takes it's own sweet time! It is downright stubborn! Eventually, it gets here and we all breathe a huge sigh of relief and act like it was such an unusual thing.... that spring was so late this year. Spring is always late. This year is not unusual! What was unusual was the 70 -82 degree days we had last week! We will experience many more rain showers and cloudy days well into June, but they will be worth it because summer here is spectacular!!!

Meanwhile, we celebrate every bud on every tree, every daffodil, tulip, and grape hyacinth that pokes it's leary little head out of the cold, damp ground!

We celebrate GREEN!!!!!

The birds are darting back and forth, happily singing and grabbing bits of grass and twigs to build their cozy nests. The swallows, in particular are loud and happy as they do their joyful spring dance! They swoop and tweet and sing to their little heart's content!

Soft, mossy Green!

I love them! Robins are grabbing worms and sipping from my bird baths!

 

Happy Spring!!!
