Unexpected winter gifts

Very spring-like weather in our region as of late. The sun has been bright and warm. The birds have been out reclaiming their trees and fence posts. In particular, I have even heard two mourning doves, witnessing one of them in person. What a gift from nature. Providing such spring treasures so early on is not something I take for granted. What more can we need besides these wonderful reminders that nature provides and operates on such a grand scale? The seeds of spring have been sown.
