on the wings of spring

Spring is definitely here. The fruit trees are blooming and the birds and the butterflies are all around. I mention, with a whisper, that there are five little quail eggs in the planter. Our rose bushes are starting to bloom and I planted a few pretty flowers in pots over the weekend. The yard is starting to have color once again. It is plain to see, however, that numerous trees and bushes did not survive the hardy freeze. The days are warming up to summer like temperatures. (summer for us, spring for Arizona) Isn't a 90 degree temperature that they say we are to reach today a summer temperature?

Here is a little sampling of springtime in our yard.
His underwings have orange on them and his back is mostly blue.
Be sure to have your volume on because you won't want to miss the background "music".


Our yard is alive with the sights and sounds of spring!
