Charles, Alicia, Rudy, Reba, Gary, Greta – they are all back!!!
OK – let me explain.
Charles and Alicia are my resident cardinals – for some reason they have been around much this winter – but they sure are active in cleaning out my bird feeders now.
Gary and Greta, I am so happy to see them!!! Our Canadian Geese are starting to return in massive flocks with their honking and crappy all over everything!!
Imagine my co-workers surprise when I checked a text from Hubs on my phone and ran outside to look at the sky!
They are used to me doing that partially because I love to hear the fighter jets fly over when they are touring around but I am standing out in the middle of the parking lot – eyes trained to the horizon – waiting to catch a glimpse of our errant geese who left us last fall and they certainly did not disappoint! – Flap, flap, flap – honk, honk, honk- music to my ears.
But the capper on my day – the absolute true joy that turned this craptacular – double chocolate chip frappucino/brownie lunch day from hell was seeing Rudy and Reba.
Rudy and Reba are extra special to me!! – They are our Robins!! – I have not seen them in months – and Robin’s are a sure sign of spring.
Hubs and I were filling the water troughs and I knew I heard one and then Hubs pointed at the big maple tree and I saw them – 6 of them – I ran down the driveway yelling – “RUDY!!! WELCOME HOME”!!! Like a maniac – I even got a little teary.
Spring – oh glorious spring – I am so happy you are here. Go ahead and rain!!! April showers and all that stuff – turn my paddocks into mud pits – I don’t care – more to write about.
NOW – all I need are Squiggy the Squirrel – Chippy the Chipmunk and the Bat Parade to start and I know that this season of wet feet and cold hands is done!!!
My day started shitty but sure ended great!
