the sun is streaming through the window as I sit here to write my post…

started early this morning when I headed to work in the car… sun was shining in my face and I had to put down the visor… I don’t like to do that because I do love the sunshine, but really needed to see where I was driving, lol…

the mood in the office has been brighter this week as Spring has sent us a bit of warmth, but mostly sunshine… even those who were battling colds were lighter as winter coats were tossed off and spring ones put on…

amazing how the weather can influence a person… and not just people…

I’ve been listening to the birds first thing in the morning and as the week has progressed they are singing louder and longer… and there are new voices in the choir…

yesterday’s bird question has been solved by a good friend… following her suggestion I realize that my bird friends are female Purple Finches…

this makes me smile, because I am crazy in love with the colour purple…  when I went to Grandparents’ day a little while back my grandson was wearing his purple t-shirt, just for me…

here’s a picture from my Saskatchewan and Manitoba Nature Guide by Krista Kagume which shows a much better picture… the backs of the birds are quite browny-red…

hope to catch some of my own pictures tomorrow…
