I Hear Birds Chirping

Yesterday I walked out on my front porch to hear birds chirping. Now let me back up - 1) I walk outside on my front porch every morning to let Katie (my Yorkie) out. 2) I had heard incredible rumors about a month ago that there were birds chirping. But I hadn't heard it for myself.

I know what you are thinking: birds chirping? Who cares?! But I certainly care - and here is why...

SPRING IS ON THE WAY! I could never express through words how much Spring means to me. As tears drip on my keyboard with pure excitement, I know that Spring brings me these things:

• Warm weather is near, my friends. And what does warm weather bring you? A much happier Misti.


• Soon I will donning my extremities with a tan - a nice golden sparkle to my super white pasty legs. Yuck - I seriously perfectly match my white and ivory garments - and that is just despicable.


• The lake is calling my name - and not from the few restaurants that need my business in the winter. But my boat is calling my name.


• Right after Spring is Summer - duh! Summer is the only true time I am happy. Sure...I am a happy person overall, but in the summer - I am elated! I love the time outside, the time at the lake, the long daylight hours....you name it - in the summer, I love it. Okay, I don't love lawn mowing (but I have a great husband that does that) and I don't love bugs.

So there you have it - I think that I should get a pet bird. If I could get a bird to chirp every day and trick my brain into thinking warm days are ahead (everyday all year long), I would have it made. If I had a bird, what would I name it.....hmmmm????
