Today, I went outside & saw the pussy willows budding! The sunshine was warm & bright on my face, and there was a cool spring breeze gently buffetting the space kayak back and forth along its wobbly course…
The daffodil greens were poking up through the soil, & Lon & Ana’s garlic patch was busting out all over the place…
Up above in the tree branches, I saw my funny, flashy friend, Mockingbird, back from down South…but before I could take his photo, he whistled at me & flew away…
Just then, as I was watching the stripy black & white of Mockingbird’s wings disappear, I saw my first UFO here on Earth! Can you see it too–there it is–something blurry there in the upper right-hand part of the clouds, just above the tip of the branch?
It flew higher & then closer to me, & finally I was able to see it clearly…wait…is it…YES! It’s really true!
Spring is in the air!
HURRAY!
love,
Clay Ball
