spring is sprung

finally! Every morning I try to get to work early so I can take a walk along the Charles River. It's wonderful to be able to see the way that the seasons are changing over. This week has been especially wonderful weather-wise. On my morning walks I have seen:

* Two swallows swooping and flying over the water.
* A cat sitting on the edge of the river, enviously eyeing a goose that it couldn't get to.
* Starlings, sparrows, pigeons and ducks primping, preening and dancing for their mates.
* A goldfinch every morning, singing sweetly.
* Lots and lots of poochies...bulldogs, dobermans, pugs, poodles, and even a little golden retriever puppy still clumsy and curious.
* A doll's arm floating in the river.
* Rowers, rowers, rowers.
* Magnolia trees beginning to blossom.
* Boatowners beginning to take the plastic off their boats.
* Lots and lots of Duck boats in the water.
* Fish jumping.
* A Buddha on someone's apartment porch.
* Trees beginning to extend their leaves...each day a little more.

My right ear is blocked up a bit...allergies are definitely starting to kick in! Today is supposed to be hot and humid, but cloudy until the afternoon rolls around. This weekend I think we're going to take a stab at planting flowers, getting out the summer clothes and well, writing my 10 page term paper.

I'm really looking forward to summer this year!

(oh and figured out the stylesheet, sorta!)
