The first bluebird
I read this on one of my favorite blogs today - and it really spoke to me, and about me. I am exhilarated by the morning - the sounds, the birds, the awakening of day - just as I am by that first scent of Spring in the air .... and yes ... Saturday afternoon our yard was graced by not one but 6 transient bluebirds! I may be a bit of a bird geek, but I can't tell you how exciting it was to see them!
Saturday, February 25, 2006 Thoreau's Journal: 25-Feb-1859 Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature,—if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you,—know that the morning and the spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.posted by Greg at 12:08 PM
