Yes! This week I’ve felt a lightness of heart that is welcome after such a hard winter.

Wow. This morning I heard a bluebird around my yard and this afternoon I heard a Robin, in addition to the usual suspects. Doesn’t it do your heart good to hear them!?

It was a delightful morning out in Newfield!

Merlin picked up an Eastern Meadowlark but I can’t get across the skating rink that is my yard to find it. I’m sure it’s there.

On my way back inside I heard my first American Robin here at home!

It’s such a joy to have them return.
