Yesterday  gray, today bright orange.

Yesterday  fierce  cold, today  heat  warming my heart.

Yesterday was January, Today welcome June.

Yesterday wintry white for miles,

Today only green luscious canvas with splashes of yellow, red and pink.

The earth beneath my feet screaming with delight

As the carpet of green and drapes of new season surrounds me.

How can one not be with nature

when the scream of renewal can be heard so loud for miles.

My heart fled with glee as I visit my garden each morning.

To touch the new blooms of white roses,

To see as each plant greets with new growth,

I must truly be insane but simple joy in my heart

is a million dreams revisited!

“Happy Spring to all!”

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

I found this cute feathered friend yesterday.

feathery friend

This is like most duck species, there is a big difference in the way males (drakes) and females (hens) look. In order to attract a hen, the drake is much more colorful. For most of the year, he has a shiny green head, a white-ringed neck, brown chest and grey sides. The drake mallard also sports a brown back, black rump and tail.

The hen, on the other hand, is much less colourful. Her feathers are white and brown, which helps her blend in with her wetland surroundings. However, like the drake, she does have white and blue colouring on the speculum of her wings.
