Winter's on the Wing . . .

I woke up early this morning and decided that a little reading and meditation on the balcony while watching the sky lighten would be just the thing. While sitting there in contentment, I discovered that the first green blade has pushed its way through the dirt in one of my garden boxes! There will be gladiolus and nasturtiums and wind flowers and sweet peas soon! (well, sort of soon). This is a good day.
