Yellow bells bloom,
banishing winter gloom,
sweet harbinger of coming spring.
Gentle wind bids bronze chimes to sway and ring,
branches still bare but teem with life,
songbirds perch, squirrels play.
Outside, I’ll stay—
mild day.

The rush of spring is one of the great spectacles of life. Sunshine, active, singing birds everywhere, daffodils coming up, along with irises and pasque flowers, trees budding out, optimism abounds. Thank you Janice.
