Moments D680: Snow birds

Today I woke to the sound of birds chirping.  What a delight!  It's one of my most favourite ways to wake up.  It's a sign that spring is just around the corner.  Spring, my favourite time of year as the world around me begins to slowly come to life again.

And then, I realized, it was snowing outside.  I giggled to myself, knowing that others, most in fact, would be grumbling about it.

They were big fluffy snowflakes.  Very pretty.

Grumble, grumble.  All day.  But not me.  When I finally had an opportunity to get outside and into the fluffy snowflakes, I stomped my way through the fluffy snow on the ground and watched it float around my boots....and smiled.....and did it again.

I like the pretty fluffy snow.  I know that spring is around the corner.  The sun is higher in the sky, the birds wake me in the morning, and when I leave work at night, the sky is no longer dark.  It's coming and I am patient.  No, that's not even true.  I'm actually enjoying the last moments of our beautiful winter, no patience needed!

Moments enjoying the tease of spring.

Moments enjoying the last of winter.
