It’s Friday . . . let’s duck in here to share your pieces-of-happy and all the other good stuff you noticed this week!

Times are weird. Some days are hard. It’s helpful to remind each other that life is good. Even when the dumpsters are burning all around us.

As for me . . .

Well. In my corner of the world, Spring has begun that push-me-pull-you dance of the season. Such a tease it is . . . a Michigan Spring. Sometimes sunshine, mostly not. Sometimes warming temperatures, mostly not. And – as always – just as I start to believe that it’s really here this time (!), it turns on its heel and walks away.

Still. I can smell it. I can feel it. It’s beginning!

“And in the spring I shed my skin, and it blows away with the changing winds.”

Particular joys this week?

The chipmunks are awake again! They’ve joined the happy woodland gang in my garden.

My very early-variety daffodils are beginning to emerge in my most south-facing garden.

I’ve started working on my very-early garden chore list. Nothing big yet. Because I know it’s WAY too early. But I can do a daily walk-around again, and pick up sticks, and organize my seeds, and think about pruning my hellebores.

Although the juncos are still around, I’m also seeing some returning birds in the garden: wrens, red-winged blackbirds, cedar waxwings, grackles. And the finches are getting their color back!
