The night was calm and warm and perfect so I had to grab a cup of coffee and sit out on the deck. I watched two robins play a game of tag or maybe it was a game of hard-to-get. Every now and again they would sing their sweet song. Geese flew over and honked their arrival. I could hear the frog choir from the slough behind my yard. There was no traffic noise; only the sound of nature; that was until a couple of cats started going at it. It sounded like quite the brawl. I couldn't see them but am sure that the fur was flying.
The one thing missing tonight was the smell of a bonfire but a neighbor took care of that. I saw smoke wafting from a yard south of me and before I knew it, the smell drifted in my direction. It was the best aromatherapy ever.
The only snow left is on the north side of my garage where it slid off the metal roof. That icy bank will take some time to melt. It sure felt like spring in the yard this evening. From the look of the forecast, I will have to take full advantage of my day off on Sunday. The problem is that I can't decide whether to work in the yard or wander on the hiking trails. I may have to toss a coin. I sure will not be complaining with the result as long as I can spend the day outside.
