Longing for Spring!

I know it is a long time before spring arrives but I can't help it, I wish it was here! How fast I forget the way the yard looks all green and lush. 

 I love the scent of the earth warming up.  Seeing and hearing the birds return. Opening the window on a tease of a warm day to let fresh air in.  Watching the wild flowers sprout out of the ground and marvel at how beautiful the plant is even if it is still curled up tight. Waiting for spring is difficult but it's the little things that are encouraging. 

The days are getting noticeably longer now.  I hear the Great Horned Owls calling to each other in the evening. I image they are singing love songs because they should be nesting soon.  

Another reason to wish for spring is I have had a few clients say to me,  "we are slow now, contact me in spring".   As we are in this phase of winter I hope for growth and rejuvenated economy full of new projects and new clients.  Bring on Spring!

These are my images from last spring.
