May and June are probably my favorite months of the year. Even though it has been a rather wet and chilly spring, I still love it. The new buds on the trees, the thunder and lightening.
My husband and I saw 4 orioles at the feeder all at once; and only the day after we had put the feeder up! The familiar sounds of bird songs seem to melt the ice from my veins.
New life is just a glance away out the windows and the urge to clean and paint is to me like an ancient instinct. Maybe that is the thing that draws me, the feeling of waking up or coming back to life after the cold, dark winter. The feeling that we can come back to try again. That we have another season to enjoy the lakes, gardens and watching things grow. I also have the joy of watching a daughter grow with a child inside her this spring, so it is especially wondrous. The baby is due soon and will be a girl, finally, after many boys. Watching my daughter nesting is an experience I won't forget. Some women are just made to have babies! What will the baby look like? Will she take after her mother or her father? So much to hope for; to pray about; to thank God for! I really love spring!
