Or maybe, I didn’t want to believe it. What
was that quacking sound on the 22nd of March?
Of course it was a duck in our backyard! But so
early? Its “normal” time to return to our little
backyard pond is on the 14th or 15th of April.
Like clockwork. Sure, I know about all the
conversation about climate warming . . . but it
has been the same for so many years. The ducks
have returned!
And the elderberry bushes outside our windows
are already setting out blooms . . . and the lilacs
outside our bedroom windows are about to burst
forth with their heavenly scent.
And the garden magnolia flower buds are about
to burst. What are those tiny white flowers that
festoon the tops of the trees above the back
garden path? Must be the apricot trees in bloom.
Why am I surprised with all of this? It is just . . .
spring eager to arrive!
