Spring seems to have come, and nearly turned to summer, almost overnight. The warming of the days has been so gradual here, that it has been hard to notice it’s even happening, except that for the last few days I have wanted to leave the back door open all afternoon and evening, to listen to Swainson’s Thrush singing it’s evening song, and hear the ocean rushing to the shore.
The life around me keeps me in touch… the flowers are exploding everywhere, and just in the last couple days there are a new set of floral explosions taking place, and a new migration of birds arriving. I feel a little bit antsy these days, wanting to drink up the spring air, go camping under the night sky, listen endlessly to the song of birds and feel the warm breezes on my face. This is a little bit of what is around me today.
The first rose bloom appeared… 
baby birds are being born, and mama birds are very active…
the salmonberry are fruiting…
and the foxglove are getting ready to blossom into beautiful stalks of colorful bells…
I am sometimes overwhelmed by the vastness of worlds re-opening right now, springing back to life. It is deeply inspiring and fulfilling.
What changes are you observing where you live?
