Winter is melting and some very early signs of spring are creeping in. One sign, which I wish I had words to describe, is a change in the quality of light. I find that suddenly the new light makes my house look winter worn and weary. I am beginning to get the urge to fix my nest. I want to clean cabinets and purge old linens. I want to make my windows sparkle. I am noticing dust on my curtains and baseboards that need scrubbing. All of this while I hear Cardinals and Robins outside starting early mating calls. The wild turkeys in the meadow are courting... the males strutting with their tails fanned. Soon new life will be appearing everywhere. I want to feather my nest to welcome the coming season.
