Today, while trying to get the dog outside, I noticed two grackles exiting my old gas grill on the back porch. Apparently they are creating quite an elaborate nest--twigs are protruding from the front lip of the grill. It seems all barbecues are on hold as the grill operates as an avian nursery...
Spring is a time of regeneration and warm weather. Turn off the TV. Step away from the Interwebs. Put all phones--yes, that includes the cell--to ring straight to voicemail. Go outside and spend a good long time with the quiet world outside your door. What crazy sounds are the local birds making? What smells are carried to you on the breeze? When will the cicadas begin the summer hum? What stars are spinning overhead as the sun drops past the horizon?
What is your world without the chatter?

I am loving the web comic called Girls with Slingshots. I found it a few months ago and have enjoyed keeping up with the adventures of Hazel and the gang. I love the ghost kitty....Doooooooooom!
