A ruckus
One day this week while I was standing on the porch watching sleet come down, a flock of robins intermingled with cedar waxwings descended upon the bushes and trees beside our house. They made quite a commotion for the brief time that they were about and then as suddenly as they had appeared, they were gone. I’m hoping that this is a sign that spring isn’t too far away.
“Even when in the midst of disturbance, the stillness of the mind can offer sanctuary.” ~Stephen Richards
