The Fragrance of Spring


This picture is from March of last year, our side bed with roses.
This morning, as I left the house to feed the birds staring through the window at me, I was exhilarated by an elusive scent- a moist, earthy smell wafted on surprisingly warm air. The blank, icy smell of winter was still there, but a hint- just a hint of spring was in the air. The wind is due to change tonight, with clouds and dropping temperatures, but the tease from spring has begun. It has sent me a postcard to "Get Ready. I'm coming."
