Longing for Summer


The lake still
except for subtle ripples
The sky not reflected

Echos of song birds ring
Rain pings on my window pane
Behold the Robin's just reward

Tree moss fully bloomed
Never settled north or south
April rain precedes

Ahhh . . . It feels summer down here in the swamps of south Louisiana, supposed to get into the eighties today. I used to love summer, but now with my aging and a few physical problems, mainly emphysema, I find it more difficult to breathe in the summer heat which gets up to the high nineties and beyond. I'm enjoying the warm weather, but I won't when the temperature begins to climb.

Just started getting rain and warmer temps in Ontario these past few days. Woke up to a couple inches of snow a few days ago that all melted by noon. Some of the flowers are now up, the birds are starting to nest and the chipmunks are awake and taking peanuts
