Springtime

Herself speaks.

Spring has arrived in the desert, and it is lovely out. I appreciate now more than ever the morning strolls around the neighborhood with the small dogs, especially since I otherwise do not leave the house. The neighbor's flowers are blooming, and there are birds enjoying the occasional fountain in a front yard. The sunsets are beautiful, and the stars twinkle at night. It's peaceful, despite the Pandemic that hangs 'round our necks like a horcrux. Perhaps it is a reminder for us to appreciate the moment, since we know not what the future holds. I'll do my best to be mindful.
