Spring


This morning was the first morning I got out of my car at work (6:45am) heading towards the building and heard the birds sing. Not just one or two but what seemed like all the birds on the block. It was music to my soul. The air also had the smell of spring.
I know its still winter and there are still cold days ahead, but I have hope for tulips and daffodils and so much more...
I also learned about Craigslist from a fellow PAP and today listed something. This could be fun. Maybe even make a little cash for the adoption fund...We shall see.
