A Sign of Spring

The Robin returns
as the cold earth yearns
awaiting the thaw of spring.
Awake from dark slumber
shake off the winter,
Robin as you start to sing.



It was a week ago when the weather was really warm that I noticed the first flock of Robin's as they start to migrate north from their wintering grounds. It's a welcome sight, as though this winter has lacked the snowfall of last year, it hasn't lacked in painfully cold and dreary gray days.

The spring marks the beginning of so many things, and I anticipate my blog will begin to blossom and take on new life as things around the Bowman Homestead start to unfurl as we rework the soil, prepare the gardens and just enjoy the fresh air..

Until Next Time...
