I am a bit overwhelmed by demands on my writing life: my honors history students are zapping me with e-mailed drafts of a paper due in a few days, and a speaker for next Sunday's adult education at church has landed in the hospital, necessitating a quick revision in plans. I have some good material to use, but I can't figure out where I put it down earlier today. Oh, and I just finished a one-page summary of that 15-page paper I wrote last week for a presentation tomorrow night. (OK, so I cheated; I can't fit it onto one page. I altered the spacing and font size just a tad. Think my ultra-compulsive prof will notice?)
Anyway, for journal purposes, let's just say that I don't have another written word in me right now, but I am very aware that the ice has melted and the grasses are growing in the marshes. Our tiny back yard's feeders briefly hosted a chipping sparrow and a white-crowned sparrow last night -- spring is here, the ice has gone, and the migrants are coming through!

Weather here is hideous today. Cold rainy and winterlike. Poor little birdies at the feeder are braving it anyway...that's how you know it's going to last all day. I have been enjoying the goldfinches, the hummingbirds, and the occasional white-crowned sparrow. Sorry your life is so hectic! Lisa :-]
Wonderful picture, sorry about the chaos. I live about 130 miles south of Lisa and it's been raining all day here too. The rhodies and azaleas are so not happy. It's supposed to dry out a little later in the week. Please. :-)

Beautiful! I love b&w photos. Sounds like you could use a vacation right about now. Hope you get one soon! (this pic looks like a good spot for a mini vaca!) ~ Lori
Hah! Too much to say and not enough space to say it in? This is a good sign...
