Early Spring

by Martha
(Gainesville, Ga)

I love the sounds early in the morning. Coffee on the deck. Sunshine on my face. Spring is trying to arrive -- soon - soon. I love when all of nature takes on that bright green shade. Buds are forming on my Bradford pear trees. The yellow bells are still not here. The pecan trees are still sleeping. Red birds sitting on the fence. I can hear the geese honking, the soft coo of what -- a morning dove? I know the temperature tricks our plants into budding too soon, but might we take hope for the arrival of spring soon by watching God's creatures?
