A bit of travelling and a battle with Chrome and
I have not posted in awhile. ( Thanks Helen ) I was in our
Edmonton location for a couple of days. Brown with a
touch of cold rain., Still there were a few hints things
might change.
" i am singing the cold rain
i am singing the winter dawn
i am turning in the gray morning
of my life
toward home"
I Am Singing the Cold Rain
Lance Henson
"The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,"
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,"
The Rainy Day
Longfellow
- "All day thy wings have fanned,
- At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere,
- Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
- Though the dark night is near.
- And soon that toil shall end;
- Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest,
- And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall bend,
- Soon, o'er thy sheltered nest. "
- To a Waterfowl
- William Cullen Bryant
Today we are back to a rhapsody
in white. But it is already melting.
Still I am hoping someone may have
our forgotten Spring scrunched down
in a corner of their pocket.
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us or we find it not."
Art ( essay )
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Guy, it is raining here again today but at least we are warmer than you! Spring migration has begun in earnest and I am seeing new birds almost every day! Once again, I love the lines of poetry in this post, most fitting for this gray day! I hope the sun smiles on you soon!
Hi Kathie
We are at the cabin this week and migration is in full swing. We have seen Sandhill Cranes, Harris, White Crowned and White Throated Sparrows all kinds of ducks, Snow Geese, flock of returning blackbirds and some wablers. It is still not very green here but things are looking up.
