Spring can bring so many wonderful things to the world. The ground begins to thaw and you can watch as new trees and grass make their way to the surface. The sun begins to shine for longer, and the solemn mood of the last few winter weeks begin to fade. It's hard not to be happy when Spring comes around.
For the past two weeks there were some birds that were spending an increasing amount of time in our yard. We watched them pick at the leftover leaves from last fall, and the twigs that had fallen from winter storms. They were building themselves a house in our backyard. The two chose what they thoughts was the perfect spot- underneath a bush next to a tree. Unfortunately, their perfect spot was right next to the perfect spot of our neighbors cat. The birds and their babies did not experience the happiness of spring.
But it's okay because summer is almost here and better things should come.
It's a shame that those poor birds had their spring cut short. They didn't live for a better summer.
ReplyDeleteBet that cat is pleased though.
I love spring! The time between winter and summer holds ideal temperatures and day lengths. I love that I can be out in the garden all day without being forced inside by the unbearable heat of summer! You've touched upon so many of the perfect moments that spring provides, (though the birds' experience is depressing).
