Saturday morning. Sunny. Cold, but not as cold as yesterday. We’ve had four sunny days in a row and I’m not taking that for granted. It’s lovely out there.
We had a busy day yesterday, both of us off running our respective errands. But the larder is now full, every box has been checked, and we can now relax for the weekend. Though Don, swearing yesterday that he just wanted to stay home all day today, has suddenly made an appointment to get his hair cut and has all sorts of ideas in his head about what he wants to do – what we should do. He wakes up quite early and has been up since 5 am. I got up around 6:45 and, not being a morning person, am still waking up. I don’t think we’re going to be on the same page today!
Yesterday I heard a mourning dove for the first time in several months. The mourning doves around here take off for part of the winter. I was so happy to hear that beautiful sound. We saw a cardinal (they’re around all winter) and we saw two bluebirds. I know bluebirds are seen in the Northeast, but I never see them here during the spring and summer. In fact, I’ve only seen them once before and it was during the winter a few years back. I think it was in February or March. I love bluebirds, so I was grateful for an unimpeded view of them yesterday. I hope they hang around again today.
I heard a little birdsong this morning. Is it a sign of an early spring?
Other than that, still reading, cleaning, laughing and, this morning, talking with my husband about how much we love Paris.
Happy Saturday.
